Youth places up for grabs in Cumbria

There are still places to be filled for a cracking youth led course at Sedburgh School next month.

Cumbria
  There is plenty of great music making and fun on offer

4BR has been informed that there are still a few places left to be filled on this year's Cumbria Youth Brass Ensemble with The Brass Academy to be led at Sedburgh School in Cumbria next month.

Five days

It features five days of professional brass tutoring from leading players from the 18th to 22nd August as well as plenty of other fun activities.

Aimed at 8 to 18-year-old players encompassing leaners to advanced students, it will compromise teaching on an individual, ensemble and group basis.

The course will culminate with a public concert where the parents and families can come and hear the progress that has been made.

Fantastic experience

A spokesperson told 4BR: "It's a great learning environment and very welcoming — so if you want to enjoy a fantastic musical experience led by brilliant tutors then get in touch.

The professional tutors led by Musical Director Tom Rainer offers huge experience and tutoring insight, so please get in touch and enjoy a truly unique course."
