Cheltenham Silver Training Band has been running for many years and has successfully coached dozens of players through to the Main Band and beyond.
There are two groups, Beginners and Training Band. Beginners are given tuition until they become proficient enough to join the Training Band. The Training Band rehearses in preparation for concerts and competitions. Trainees are encouraged to join the Main Band as their playing improves further.
The Training Band meets on Fridays from 6.30 to 7.30 pm at our band room in Ullenwood Court, Leckhampton, Cheltenham. The beginners class is on Mondays from 6.45 to 7.15 pm.
Whether you are 6 or 60, Rob Folland, our Training Band MD will help you develop your playing skills - from your first blow right through to joining the Main Band. Membership of the Training Band is free for children and instruments can be provided too! So there really is no excuse!
If you know nothing about music or brass instruments but you are keen to learn in a relaxed and friendly environment please contact Rob via the contacts page.
