A Colwyn Bay school is inviting everyone in the community to take part and consider joining their Community Wind Band which launches soon.
Rydal Penrhos is thrilled to announce the launch of the Rydal Penrhos Community Wind Band, which will formally begin on Wednesday 2 March from 7-8.30pm in the Senior Music Room on Combermere Road, Colwyn Bay.
Sessions will take place every Wednesday thereafter and the Rydal Penrhos Community Wind Band is open to current and past pupils, parents, staff and local musicians.
There is no charge for the group sessions, which will be led by musician, ex-Rydal Penrhos parent and current school Governor, Clive Wolfendale.
Mr Wolfendale, said: “The repertoire for wind band is vast and highly flexible, encompassing bespoke, classical and popular arrangements. Consequently, it will be possible to accommodate players of a ‘Grade 3’ standard (or equivalent) alongside more experienced musicians.
“Whilst a balanced ensemble will be ultimately desirable, we can adapt to what we have in the short term. Music will be available for treble, tenor and bass clef readers.
“Within the emerging freedoms from lockdown restrictions, there is an appetite to re-engage with music-making amongst regular practitioners and those who have not picked up an instrument for some time.”
