Byron Brass Summer School
 

Fancy going to a brass summer school at one of the most beautiful locations in the world?....You only have until 14 November to make sure you can!

Professor David King and friends, invite "You" to a week of sunshine, sharing, and self discovery at one of Australia's most picturesque and relaxing settings, Lake Ainsworth, Lennox Head, North East New South Wales.

All ages, all abilities

Byron Brass Summer School is an opportunity for families, and people of all ages and abilities, to experience a balance between community brass banding and simply being together in an environment that nurtures potential.

As well as the musical components, there are also plenty of non-musical activities where you and your family can choose to do as much or as little as you want.

The Location

It doesn't get much better than this.

Nestled between a tranquil tea-tree lake and the rolling surf of Lennox Heads, Lake Ainsworth Sport and Recreation Centre is one of the most ideally located centres you would find anywhere in the world.

Lake Ainsworth Sport and Recreation Centre is located at the northern end of the Lennox Head township, between the towns of Byron Bay and Ballina, northern New South Wales.

The Byron Brass Summer School runs from 8-12 January, 2010.
