You are cordially invited to attend a Masterclass & Workshop to be held at Silkstone Primary School, South Yorkshire, on Sunday 21st November 2004.

Workshops will offer expert tuition in how to warm up effectively, the correct approach to playing music and will include an insight into sight reading, the taking apart, rehearsing and putting back together to achieve a full band performance of a brand new piece.
Sectional sessions will also provide an understanding in how to choose and prepare a “section feature” which may be included in future concerts with your band or ensemble.

There are a limited number of places available, for an entry form or for further details please contact Nigel Horne (njh@bandsman.co.uk). Or
have a word with me at Pontins on Saturday, I'll be there!
