The Lydney Band organisation runs three levels of musicians:
Lydney Starter Group (beginners), Lydney Training Band (more experienced players) and Lydney Town Band.
The Band's success is founded on encouraging, teaching and mentoring new players, both young and older,
bringing in new ideas and enthusiasm to create a fun, musical, band organisation.
The Lydney Band organisation provides expert tutoring and mentoring through Associated Board Music
Examinations (ABRSM) and we have a 100% pass rate with over 60% achieving the top grade of ’Distinction’.
Our training is available for everyone irrespective of age!
The band is self supporting and is funded by donations and appropriate grant applications
which help us purchase and maintain instruments and purchase music.
Rehearsals take place in The Bandroom, Swan Lane, Lydney GL15 5RU

Lydney Starter GroupIf you want to start to learn to play a brass instrument or need to remind yourself of the basics, the Starter Group is just for you. Designed for all ages, you will be taught how to read music, play in duets or small ensembles, and develop your skills to play easy solos.
The group is designed to enable individuals to develop at their own pace in a small group of similarly able players. These skills will enable you to progress to the Lydney Training Band when you are ready. |
