A source of Inspiration for our future

Aldbourne Youth and Junior bands were very lucky to kick off their 2019 rehearsals with an inspiring interactive session led by the band’s resident @Glyn Williams. The young musicians learnt about the importance of breathing properly, of warming up, using the diaphragm and listening critically to themselves as they practice every day!
Glyn held a band competition to find the player who could hold the longest note and demonstrated how using the diaphragm improved tone and volume. The band went on to play an arrangement of Colonel Bogey. The youngsters were mesmerised and very much enjoyed the session. Hopefully it has inspired them to improve their own standard this year.

Youth and Junior band Musical Director, Janet Roe, said “The evening has been great fun as well as teaching and reminding the players of some of the basics of playing. Glyn even managed to get the parents who were watching to participate in some of the warm up activities!”
