BUDDING musicians are being given the opportunity to blow their own trumpet in Leamington.
Royal Spa Brass is inviting children, young people and adults to take their first steps into music with Brass Roots, a beginner group designed to make learning a musical instrument fun, affordable and accessible.
The group meets on Thursdays from 5.30pm until 6.20pm at The Band Factory in Althorpe Street and is open to complete beginners through to players around Grade 2/3 standard.
Brass Roots was created for anyone who would love to try brass playing but may not know where to begin. Whether it is a child picking up an instrument for the first time, a parent looking for a positive after-school activity, or an adult finally deciding to give music a go, the group offers a friendly and encouraging place to start.
Royal Spa Brass is a community music organisation based in Leamington with a proud history dating back to the early 1900s. Today, the band continues that tradition by helping people of all ages and abilities discover the enjoyment, confidence and friendship that come from making music together.
New players are supported by the band’s experienced and approachable music team, who help them choose a suitable instrument, learn their first notes and develop confidence week by week. Many instruments can also be loaned, helping families avoid the cost of buying before they know what suits them.
Annette Cairns, chair of Royal Spa Brass said: “Brass Roots is about removing the barriers that can stop people getting involved in music. You do not need experience, you do not need to own an instrument, and you do not need to feel nervous about starting. We will help you from the very first note.”
