A free National 'Learn to Play Day' is taking place in Sheffield this weekend, where you can go along to be given short taster sessions on various brass and percussion instruments.

BrassEx based at The Foundry Studio in Sheffield has teamed up with the charity Music for All to 'Discover the Musician within you!' on Saturday 24th June.

Come along

All you have to do is to come along and enjoy yourselves alongside music tutors who will provide short taster lessons on various brass and percussion instruments.

A spokesperson told 4BR: "In 2016, over 120 venues across the country put on events aimed at people who had never played before and people who used to play.

At BrassEx this year there will be opportunities to come on the day to try out an instrument, and if you like it, there will be members of training bands who can offer a route to continue with your musical journey too."
