The Royal College of Music in London is to host 'RCM Youth Brass', an exciting course welcoming young brass players to enjoy a weekend of practical workshops and coaching with RCM musicians in April.

It is open to youngsters age 14-18 of Grade 6 standard and above on any brass instrument.

Led by Amos Miller, RCM Head of Brass, participants will take part in workshops exploring special arrangements of repertoire around a theme of 'water and the natural world', culminating in an ensemble performance in the Amaryllis Fleming Concert Hall.

The RCM stated: "This is a wonderful opportunity to gain valuable advice about how to prepare for auditions, develop performance skills and receive peer-to-peer support from other young musicians in a supportive and friendly environment."
