As soon as players have learned the basic skills of playing the C major scale and can sight-read simple pieces of music they are invited to join the training band.
This gives them the opportunity to play their parts in a group of musicians, to improve their playing and increase their confidence.
Players may have an instrument loaned from the band and they are expected to clean and take care of it.
Rehearsals take place in term time between 6pm and 7.15pm on Wednesday evenings. Rachel, Jennie and Janet conduct and supervise rehearsals.
The training band has 2 representatives on the committee. They are Claire Jenkins and Craig Eastman. Any member of the beginners or training band may speak to one of their representatives if they have any issues they wish the committee to discuss. Jennie will deal with any child protection concerns.
