This course gives woodwind, brass and percussion players the chance to play as part of a large wind band. You’ll rehearse with other young musicians and work closely with experienced wind band tutors. 

You’ll take part in sectional and full rehearsals, helping you improve your technique and learn how your part fits into the wider music. You’ll work on a varied programme, including well-known arrangements and traditional wind band repertoire. 

If you would like to hire an instrument, please contact kmss@kent-music.com when making your application. 

Wind Band can be a step towards Symphony Orchestra or Kent Music’s advanced county ensembles like Kent Youth Wind Orchestra and Kent County Youth Orchestra

All staff working with children and young people hold a current enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check and take part in regular safeguarding and child protection training.
