Congratulations to Ian

If any of you are thinking…. ‘I can’t do a music exam’ then look to this band member who started to play the cornet under 7 years ago achieved a Merit at Grade 7 in December 2021!

Ian joined us in 2015 having previously played the piano for many years. His interest in brass has grown into a great hobby and no doubt he will tell you that he loves it. As well as learning new skills, Ian has challenged himself as an adult to take music exams, which can be quite a tense experience. Ian adopted a systematic approach to practice through lockdown to get himself exam ready.  Its amazing what a bit of dedication can do.  Well done Ian. We’re so proud of you. Kerry Ford – Brass Tutor, Lydney Town Band
