One-off woodwind ensemble workshops in central Scotland, specifically intended for adult learners or 'returners' on flute, oboe, clarinet or bassoon.
(NEW for 2012: Introductory-level saxophone workshops - more details)

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:


Group 'Taster' Session

Always wanted to play a woodwind instrument but don't know where to start?
An opportunity to try for the sound on flute and clarinet and find out more.
You may also find our starting up advice of use.


Introductory

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


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.
