Learning

We are a learning organisation that puts youth and player development at the heart of our work.

RonanBuzzers – pBuzz Group
The pBuzz is a new instrument designed to capture the musical interest of children and teach them the basics of playing a brass instrument in a fun and exciting way. It is really a simplified version of a trombone in that it uses the same size mouthpiece and has a moveable tube to change the notes.  Our RonanBuzzer group runs on Sunday mornings at 10am during term-time.

Training Band & ClassBrass
Our learners’ group meets on a Friday from 2.30pm and is open to anyone who would like to learn to play a brass instrument (subject to availability)

St. Ronan’s Future Band
The Future Band meets on a Friday at 6pm and is our youth band for intermediate/advanced players.  As well as acting as a feeder to the senior band, the Future Band plays at many engagements in its own right.  New players alwyas welcome.

Band Camp
We run a Band Camp each year during the school summer holidays. Watch this space for details of the 2024 event (2, 3, 4 July)!

  • Although we’re taking a bit of a break after a fantastic Games Week, there will be a couple of Summer Sessions running the next two Fridays – 28 July and 4 August – from 2-3pm in the Band Hall.
  • This is for all young players or anyone wishing to return to playing! Come along and have a go!
  • We’ll provide some 1-1 lessons and play together depending on numbers etc! Come and join us!
