Amersham Summer Brass Course
We are excited to offer our inaugural Amersham Summer Brass Course. Building on our core educational mission we have put together a fun learning experience for brass and percussion players aged 11 – 21 and at Grade 4+.
Players will have a fantastic opportunity to study with world class tutors as well as Amersham Band’s regular musical directors
The Summer Course will comprise three days of whole band and sectional work followed by a rehearsal and concert on day four. Participants will study with world-class visiting tutors alongside Amersham Band’s regular musical directors, all of whom have many years of experience in education in addition to their own successful playing careers. The final evening concert at Amersham’s new Lifestyle Centre will feature our very special guest trombone soloist, Katy Jones
The Summer Brass Course costs £250 per student and participating students will receive complimentary tickets to the Summer Music Festival Concerts. Please apply using this link
Amersham Music Festival
At the same time we are running a series of concerts featuring different groups across the Amersham Band Community, together with our spectacular guest soloists: Mike Lovatt, Georgina Jackson and Katy Jones
These concerts will be available through our Box Office when tickets are released
Making Music
Amersham Band provides education in brass music for all ages and abilities through teaching, rehearsals and performance. For a modest subscription anyone can join one of our bands and enjoy the benefits of group music making. We have a comprehensive range of bands and also have links to freelance music teachers for those wanting individual tuition.
