Brass, Wind and Percussion Inspire

Our Wind, Brass and Percussion Inspire ensemble is a fantastic opportunity to meet and play with other young musicians from across Lancashire. We play musical games and learn several pieces for a performance each term, developing our musical knowledge as we go along.

 

 

Our Wind, Brass and Percussion Inspire ensemble is a fantastic opportunity to meet and play with other young musicians from across Lancashire. We play musical games and learn several pieces for a performance each term, developing our musical knowledge as we go along.

 

We are open to all young musicians from Year 2 upwards who play a wind, brass or percussion instrument. Don’t worry if your child is a new starter – some of our current members only knew one note when they joined Inspire and have made amazing progress. There is always a friendly and productive atmosphere, with our more experienced members helping to encourage and support the younger children.

 

Members of the Lancashire Youth Concert Band regularly help us with mentoring and side-by-side playing experiences, as well as performing with us in joint concerts. As each young musician advances, there will be the opportunity to move up to the senior Band

Joining Inspire costs just £29 per term with our Silver Subscription, which includes membership of as many groups as you like, including at our Music Centres! Costs are kept low as they’re subsidised by our Music Education Hub grant.

To find out more, please contact lancsinspirewbp@gmail.com for more information. We look forward to hearing from you!

Lancashire Music Service, the lead organisation of the Lancashire Music Hub, has a prestigious partnership with Yamaha, a global leader in musical instruments and audio equipment. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in our mission to provide high-quality music education and resources to young people across Lancashire.

Through this partnership, Lancashire Music Service will gain access to Yamaha’s state-of-the-art instruments, including brass and woodwind instruments, electronic string instruments and percussion equipment. These instruments will significantly enhance the learning experience for our students, providing them with world class resources to develop their musical skills.
Yamaha will also support Lancashire Music Service through workshops, masterclasses, and exclusive events, offering students unique opportunities to learn from industry professionals and gain invaluable insights into the world of music. This initiative has been made possible by the Department for Education's Music Hub Capital Grant for Musical Instruments, Equipment and Technology.

This video was created for a landmark concert on the 21st May 2025 where our new Lancashire Yamaha Youth Ambassadors were celebrated. The video captures the moment some of the new ambassadors received their brand new instruments and the excitement that brought.
