6 O'clock Brass

Update 28th August - We hope to restart 6 O'clock Brass from after the autumn half-term 2021 when we'll be working on music for Christmas.

A friendly group for brass players of around grade 1 or grade 2 standard

6 O’clock Brass or simply “6B” is aimed at those starting out in ensemble playing. There are no formal entry requirements - if you can play a one-octave C major scale, you’re in! 6B helps new players develop ensemble playing through listening, watching and acquiring confidence, so it’s a great complement for regular instrument lessons. Best of all, it’s fun!

Each session of around 30 minutes includes work on breathing or buzzing, playing notes and scales together, and then work on brass band pieces. As players grow in confidence they are able to join in the first part of the Progress Band practice which follows immediately afterwards.

All 6B leaders have been DBS checked and you can read our Safeguarding policy here.

We meet each Wednesday evening, and we are hoping to restart from after the autumn half-term 2021.
