The Burry Port Band in West Wales has used a generous donation from the local Burry Port Charity Fund of £500 to plan for their long term future.

Learners

This money has now been put to the purchase of five cornets for young learners — and now the band is looking for just the right young players to take them home and start practising on them!

Brass and snooker

The band's commitment to the future has seen them set up a Junior Band Club each Tuesday, where young players will be given the opportunity to learn to play as well as enjoy a game of snooker if they fancy to relax!

This is a fantastic opportunity for those children in local schools who don’t benefit from brass tuition to learn to play a brass instrument and enjoy the benefits of playing in an ensembleTara Smith

Opportunity

Tutor, Tara Smith told 4BR: "This is a fantastic opportunity for those children in local schools who don’t benefit from brass tuition to learn to play a brass instrument and enjoy the benefits of playing in an ensemble.”
