Tuba and euphonium players can take part in the Black Dyke Lower Brass Workshop at Leeds Town Hall this weekend — so why not sign up.

Black Dyke
  The Black Dyke Lower Brass Workshop starts at 9.15am

There is still time for euphonium and tuba enthusiasts to join with Black Dyke stars Daniel Thomas and Harry Cunningham, as well as Besson artist Les Neish for a special 'Lower Brass Workshop' and this weekend's Black Dyke Festival in Leeds (Sunday 3rd June).

Skill sets

The interactive workshop at Leeds Town Hall (LS1 3AD) starts at 9.15am and goes on until 11.30am and will concentrate on the unique skill sets and characteristics required to master playing the instruments.

The remarkable talents of Daniel and Harry have seen them become two of the UK's finest exponents of the euphonium and tuba, whilst the brilliance of Les Neish needs no introduction.

So why not sign up (it costs just £5.00) for the type of intensive treatment to your playing that will leave you informed, entertained and eager to improve.
