National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain
The National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain and National Children's Brass Band of Great Britain exists to provide opportunities for young people to play brass band music to the highest standards, and is aimed not only at helping their playing, but also improving their musicianship and widening their musical horizons.
Residential courses, lasting for one week, are held twice a year. These take place at Easter and in August at various centres throughout the country.
Under the direction of a team of instrumental tutors and the Artistic Director or Guest Conductor, the players have intensive sectional and full band rehearsals daily.
The music studied is carefully chosen, students often being introduced to works they would not normally meet.
In addition to the main band there is a Children’s band for 8 – 14 year olds which also has 2 residential courses a year at the same location as the main band.
