Valley Brass (St.Helens) jwith local schools and houses 3 brass bands. A senior band, Adult learner band and a learner group.

There are approximetly 100 members enjoying and sharing music in the ommunity and bringing music education opportunities to a deprived area of the U.K
We would like to attend more local schools offering brass tuition bringing opportunities to children who would not get high quality music education. Also reach out into the wider community offering brass support and lessons to people of all ages providing a social setting for many in the community.

The project is to fund some tuition in schools and follow this up with online skills development in practical skills and music theory. Providing a music 'drop down' event which will encourage schools and pupils to attend with a showcase event on the completion of the day. This will all pupils to work together to enjoy and make music with the opportunity to continue with music making.
A bank of online tuition / support videos will be created and added to and developed over time. These will cater and support musicians of all standards and will be an on=going project that will build over time.

The band already supports some schools and the community, but we would like to reach out and extend this provision across the city region and develop online support for skills development.
