Learn to Play in a Brass Band
Bands offering to teach
beginners
If you would like to learn to play a musical instrument or if you would like
to give your child a hobby for life which is both social and educational then
you need look no further.
Bands have been listed here in alphabetical
order of country, then county/state/province, then town.
These bands are willing to teach people to play a brass or percussion musical
instrument, most bands will do this free of charge or for a nominal fee and they
may lend or rent instruments.
If you run a group, you may list your band here, send your name, the band's
name, town, county/state/province, country, band room's postcode (GB - if known)
and WWW address (of the junior group, not your full band) to Nigel
Horne. Why not look at our music for junior groups?
If you're using this directory, please remember that all the entries were
added in good faith but that not all bands keep their entries up to date, so
please be respectful when contacting people listed here and understand that
things may have moved on. If you find some information that you believe
is no longer correct, then let me know.
