We have activities planned for beginners, young people who are receiving brass lessons at school, and workshops for more advanced players. Instruments will be provided for anyone that doesn’t have one.
Helen Minshall is in high demand and delivers many youth workshops all over the UK. Helen is a Youth Brass Development Specialist with Brass Bands England and the director of Minshall Music Ltd. Sheona Wade is an international tenor horn soloist, adjudicator, teacher and tutor at the The National Youth Brass Bands of Scotland and we look forward to welcoming both Helen and Sheona to our workshops.

Family and friends are welcome to join us at 15:00 for our free concert which will showcase all attendees and Sheona Wade being accompanied by Coalburn Silver Band.
Attendees will be split into three groups on the day:
Group 1 – from 11:00 with Helen Minshall and David Fehilly (Conductor of Coalburn Bronze Band). This group is for everyone who receives lessons at school. All participants should bring their instrument, a packed lunch and should arrive from 10.45 to register.
Group 2 – from 12:30 with Sheona Wade. This group is for experienced players who have been playing for more than 3 years and should arrive from 12:15 to register.
Group 1 and 2 will also have a session with James Hughes who is a transformational coach, hypnotherapist and breath-work coach looking at gaining an understanding of the power and potential of our minds.
