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!
