Adult Beginners Brass Course
After the success of the first Adult Beginners Course in 2024, the Egham Band is running another course in September 2025.
Egham Band is providing an exciting opportunity to explore the world of brass banding. This 8-week course for adults is suitable for those with no prior musical experience or those who would like to return to music.
The course will allow you to discover a new hobby, learn to play an instrument and read music notation. At the end of the course, participants will be invited to join the Egham Community Band.
