Young musicians

Speaking about the course, St Ronan's Band Chairperson Jane Hogarth said: "We're delighted to be able to run the event once again.

We have a very long tradition of nurturing young musicians, and our Band Camp has become a major vehicle to give fledgling players the opportunity to come together and have fun playing music!"

The Band Camp is an inclusive event with classes for beginner and more advanced brass as well as percussionists of all levels. There is also a pBuzz Class.
