Ellington Colliery Brass Band are pleased to be hosting a free youth workshop in Morpeth, Northumberland this Saturday 20 August. The workshop will be open to all young people from 7 - 16 years, including those who currently play a brass instrument, or those who have never even touched one!
Following the success of last year’s workshop, this year’s event will bring back a range of professional brass tutors for a day that will focus on learning jazz, samba, improvisation, and more.
Planned and delivered in partnership with Brass Bands England’s Brass Foundations programme and run by Ellington's Brass Roots Band, the day will run from 10:00 until 15:30, when there will be a short mini-concert to show off everything learned on the day. See a little snippet of the action here.
Helen Minshall, Youth Brass Development Specialist for Brass Foundations commented: “I can’t wait for an exciting day of music making with a range of young musicians. You can leave your children in our capable hands, and did we mention, it's completely free!”
