If you've always dreamed of learning an instrument, your local brass band is the perfect place to start as we are at the grass roots of music in your community. Our groups offer an affordable way to learn from just £4 a session (Concessions are available) and we provide the instruments. Our groups are friendly and inclusive and aim to foster a sense of community and friendship. No matter what your age, if you have a desire to learn then this is place for you.

Our beginners group is the perrect place to start your journey. All welcome, from absolute beginners to intermediate players. We meet at the band hut in Kirkby Stephen on Friday evenings 6-8pm. Tea, coffee, biscuits and a chat at break time.
