We provide musical tuition to people young and not so young free of charge both in the bandroom and in some local junior schools. We currently have around 100 instrumentalists associated with the band from raw beginners to accomplished senior band musicians. Volunteer tutors are not paid for this work. Our five musical ensembles provide a variety of musical performances throughout the year.
