Great music

Richard will lead delegates through a warm-up session, technical exercises and practice routines, as well as developing strategies to help improve sight reading and performance issues.

There will be plenty of great music to get your teeth into, with the classic 'Bugler's Holiday' being the fun piece that will also be featured alongside Black Dyke in the end of day Gala Concert played to a packed audience.
