We would like to establish a training band to enable people to learn to play brass and percussion instruments and to play as part of a band.

About this cause
We run brass bands open to everyone, regardless of prior experience, to participate in music making, learn to play brass or percussion instruments and perform to the public. We promote music making and the benefits this can have both for those involved (sense of teamwork, accomplishment, improved mental health and friendship) and for public enjoyment.
How this cause brings people in the community together
Our training band will enable people of all ages to learn to play brass or percussion instruments with no prior experience necessary. Once basics of playing have been established members will start to play as part of a band performing music together and to the public. Playing music is shown to improve mood and have positive impacts on cognitive function in addition to improving teamwork.
