North Tyneside Brass in Schools has been set up by local brass players in conjunction with the North Tyneside Music Education Hub.
We run after-school brass groups in Primary and Middle Schools in North Tyneside for children aged 7-13 (years 3-8) and aspire to establish a Youth Brass Band to give children the opportunity to continue to play and develop further.
We teach the participating children to play music (brass and percussion) in an ensemble, learning about all aspects of music.
We aim to give the participating children a positive and enjoyable experience and develop their confidence, concentration, social skills and ambitions and maybe lead to a life-long hobby or even profession as musicians.
Attendance at all brass group activities, and the loan of an instrument and other equipment is free of charge. We rely on grants and donations and our volunteer music tutors.
