Anyone Interested in Learning the Tuba?

Tuba (silvered finish)
Is anyone interested in learning the tuba? If so there will soon be a college E-flat tuba available from the music school for anyone wishing to take lessons (so you don’t have to splash out the cash and you can see whether you and the tuba suit each other).

The tuba is a fun instrument to play. As it’s not the smallest thing in the world you definitely stand out when playing amongst others - no good then if you want to hide! The one that we have available is a 3/4 size.

One other advantage is that as there aren’t many around you do get asked to get involved with all sorts of groups from our very own Brass Band [0900 to 1000 on Sat morning] to any of the orchestras.

We have a number of loan instruments available from time to time in order to lower the initial cost of learning an instrument. It also allows you to see whether you and your instrument are made for each other in a low risk way. You have but to ask!

This is a rare opportunity to try something different. These sorts of opportunities don’t come up often. Talk to Gary Sieling [01480 379220]  or Robin Norman (our very own bass virtuoso) for more information. Don’t leave it too long as someone else is likely to have snuck in before you!
