Elland Youth Open Evening

On Monday, April 24 between 6.30pm and 7.30pm Elland Youth Band will be holding an Open Evening for any parents and children aged seven or older. There will be a chance for people to meet the tutors, try out an instrument and experience the sound of the starter band. 

The organisation runs six musical groups for children and adults aged seven and older, with over 100 members, from beginners to advanced musicians and can offer children outstanding opportunities to learn to read and play a brass or percussion instrument.

Each ensemble is based on musical ability, led by musical director Samantha Harrison and a team of professional instrumental teachers. It provides affordable group tuition and instruments to all its members for a monthly subscription, with individual lessons also available on request.

The band provides local performance opportunities and also takes part in local and national competitions. Later this year the multi-award winning youth band will travel to Malmo, Sweden to take part in the European Youth Brass Band Championships.
