Our County Ensembles are getting off to a flying start this term, welcoming new members to our higher-level bands and orchestras, and also to our brilliant Inspire ensembles for total beginners.
But we really need more bass instruments:
- Bassists (bass guitar or double bass) and trombones for the jazz orchestras
- Tuba and euphonium players for our brass band and concert band
- Bassoonists for our concert band and orchestras
- Double bass players for our orchestra
These lower instruments really add the depth of sound and oomph to the ensembles – if you play any of these instruments please get in touch and you can arrange to visit a rehearsal (we don’t want to put off anyone who plays a higher pitch instrument – you are all also very welcome ?)
We can also offer students the opportunity to learn to play some of these bass instruments with our “endangered species” programme and after a few lessons, you’ll also get to play with our Inspire ensembles. For more information:
