Whether you’ve always wondered what it’s like to play a brass instrument, used to play and fancy giving it another go, or simply want to try something completely new, come along and join us!
Why Learn to Play? 🎺
Playing in a brass band is about much more than learning an instrument. It’s a chance to make new friends, be part of a team, build confidence and enjoy making music together.
City of Southampton (Albion) Band has been making music in the community since 1920, and we’re always keen to encourage new people to discover brass banding
