RNCM
  The workshops are free and led by fantastic tutors

The Royal Northern College of Music has announced the dates for its 'Young Projects' for 2024/25.

Young Projects is a series of free outreach workshops run by the RNCM tailored to inspire youngsters in their playing. They are held at the RNCM in Manchester.

Lower Brass & Young Trombones

A spokesperson told 4BR: "There are now two main workshops: Young Lower Brass (for tenor horns, baritones, euphoniums and tubas) and Young Trombones, both held on the same dates to allow instrument-specific groups to continue working with specialist teachers, whilst also making it easier for sibling and youth band groups to travel together."

Dates:


Young Lower Brass (tenor horns, baris, euphs, tubas) & Young Trombones

Sunday 22nd September 2024
Sunday 24th November 2024
Sunday 26th January 2025 (RNCM Festival of Brass)
Sunday 4th May 2025

The workshops are run by Junior RNCM tutors Helen Varley (tenor horn), Mark Bousie (euphonium), Phil Goodwin (trombone), Les Neish (tuba) and Pete Cowlishaw (tuba).

In addition, it has been confirmed that there will be the return of a performance slot at the RNCM International Brass Band Festival.

All ages and abilities

The workshops are open to players of school age and from any location and tailored to all abilities.

All sessions are held at the RNCM on Sunday mornings from 10am — 1pm and are free of charge.
