You will need to be quick this week to ensure you arrange your time and date with Philip Harper as part of Brass Band England's latest on-line Development Programme.

Arranging for brass band

The Cory MD will tackle the subject of arranging for brass band, covering areas such as understanding how the score works (including transposition), working practices, arranging from a variety of sources such as orchestra, rock, jazz and folk, how to get copyright permission and much more.

The session on Thursday 14th May, starts at 7.00pm (BST) and is aimed at arrangers of all levels from those wanting to have a go during the isolation through to those who have arranged many times before.

All the workshops are free but BBE is asking participants to consider supporting the Brass Bands Emergency Fund with what they think sessions are worth.

The fund is also able to accept gift aid to make your donation go further for those bands that could not normally use gift aid.

During the session, Zoom attendees will be able to ask questions sent in via the registration form.

The workshop will begin with a short presentation on how to use the Zoom platform effectively to get the most out of the workshop while participants get used to the set up before starting at about 7.10pm.
