One-off woodwind ensemble workshops in central Scotland, specifically intended for adult learners or 'returners' on flute, oboe, clarinet or bassoon.

Are you a relative beginner seeking entry-level experience of playing in a group situation?  Or perhaps you have fairly good technical skills but would like to develop confidence and extend your experience in a relaxed and friendly context.  Or maybe you are looking for the chance of a 'good blow' and some sight-reading challenges, without the need to make a regular commitment.

Blow & Blast offers several different playing opportunities:



Introductory

A limited range of notes?  Little previous musical experience?
Come and enjoy making music in a friendly group of other struggling musicians!

Don't play yet but are thinking of starting? - follow the starting up link for some tips and advice.



Intermediate

Added to our programme by popular request - for those who are too good for the introductory group but not yet expert!  You should be reasonably familiar with the working range of the instrument and comfortable about sight-reading in a variety of not-too-intimidating key and time signatures.
Blow & Blast Woodwind Band

A fun play-along catering for a mixture of standards.
