ABOUT

"I can't believe that myself and children picked up a Cornet for the very first time in July and are already able to join in with the band. If anyone would love for themselves and/or child to be able to play an instrument but are worried about the cost involved this is a fab way to get involved. It's definitely lots of fun!!!" ~Ayant

Friends and Fun

Our weekly practice each Thursday from 6.45 till 7.45 is aimed at almost beginner level up to about grade 3, but higher grades are of course welcome.
We are still looking for new players and have a good range of quality instruments that we can loan out.
If you are interested but have never played a brass instrument before then we are in a position to offer lessons to help get you started and ready to join the group.
We are a very friendly group and everyone is made to feel very welcome.

If you feel a little unsure or nervous about attending then you are welcome to just come for a chat.
Our philosophy is to develop good brass playing skills in a fun supportive environment.

If you presently play a brass instrument or have played one in the past and fancy giving it another go then why not come along. If you are interested then please get in touch or drop by.

Total Beginner? Try BRASS ROOTS

The Brass Roots band is our beginner group for starters. Initial tuition will be provided and allow progress up to the Acorn group for a more advanced level, and then hopefully up to the main Bedford Brass Band. There is a subscription of £2 per week to be in the band but lessons would be included in this. We meet each Thursday of school terms at Kempston East Methodist church from 6.15pm to 6.40pm.
Come along for some teaching and encourage each other as you learn your instrument.

Exciting News!

We have received a wonderful donation of some really good quality instruments with the aim of giving youngsters the opportunity to learn a brass instrument. We are therefore looking for youngsters between the age of 8 through to 18 years old who fancy learning a brass instrument. The instrument would be loaned free of charge to anyone willing to attend band one evening a week and to commit to fairly regular practice at home.
