Owen and Davur will be in Perth on Saturday 28th November, where they will be on hand at the Band Supplies trade stand to offer expert advice on the full range of Besson and Courtois instruments.

However, they can also be pre-booked for a free bespoke private lesson too!

All you have to do is get in touch by e-mail and a time slot will be found to fit you in for the best 15 minutes of free tuition you can ever hope to get!

It doesn't matter what instrument you play, or if you are just starting out on your playing, so have even been practising for the Scottish Open itself...just bring along your instrument and any music you want to work on, and either Owen or Davur will be there to help you in private.

Do not miss

It's a chance not to miss.

The lads will be there to give you invaluable pointers on how to make your solo at your upcoming Christmas Concert with your band sound extra brilliant, to give advice on how to tackle your practice studies, give tips to conquer scales and exercises, and make sure you are doing the practice regimes etc, etc.

If you want a bit of help then why not get it from the very best in the business — for free!
