It takes a lot of time and energy to learn an instrument. Even when you've started to get the hang of it there's only so much you can achieve practising at home. Lara creates a friendly supportive atmosphere where the group works on songs together. There is a wide range of abilities across brass, woodwind and percussion. No strings! We learn the tunes by ear and Lara backs this up by sending out the 'dots' (sheet music) later. People's confidence visibly improves along with the performances. We play one or two gigs a month. Even better, they're a friendly bunch!
