More importantly, it is totally free as the school funds the course through it's specialist statusLaura Jackson

Totally free

Music Coordinator at the school, Laura Jackson told 4BR: "Each year the course goes from strength to strength. It is wonderful seeing young brass and percussion musicians working hard for three days and enjoying themselves so much.

More importantly, it is totally free as the school funds the course through it's specialist status.

Laura added: "Opportunities like this are rare, especially in the North East and I am pleased so many young people take advantage of it."

Tutors

Tutors for the course are composer, Bruce Fraser, who will be working with the advanced group, Reg Vardy cornet star Tina Mortimer, who will be working with the intermediate group and local brass specialist Keith Norris who will work with the beginners group.
