North Tyneside Brass in Schools is a free after school programme that offers beginner primary school children the opportunity to take part in a brass band
With a focus on learning about brass band traditions and having fun, instruments are also available to young people at no cost.
Sessions run weekly during term time at Backworth Park Primary School. The band have recently taken part in various play days and have also appeared at the Wansbeck Music Festival.
The Brass in Schools project leader, Gavin Dudley, also sits on the NTMEH board of governors.
