Brass Class is an after school programme. High school students are welcome to attend at no cost.
The only requirement is that the student’s music teacher attend with them. In this way, students learn the rudiments of playing brass and music teachers learn the rudiments of teaching as well as playing brass.
The Alpha Community Band is 30-piece concert band providing an outlet for musical expression and an opportunity for certified training to professional and non-professional brass and woodwind musicians at no cost to band members or the community. Co-directed by Peter Ashbourne, live music performances feature a variety of genres. Performances are held four times per year.
