Bandwise gives you the opportunity to play a wide variety of music for wind and percussion - from classics to pops and jazz - and to take part in instrumental groups and workshops, all in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

Where is it and When?

The next Bandwise course will take place at the Nottingham Trent University, Clifton campus on Saturday 26 & Sunday 27 February followed by an informal concert for parents and friends at the Albert Hall, Nottingham on Sunday 6 March.

How good do I have to be?

Whether you have been playing for years or have only just reached grade 1, this is for you! Players are divided into three bands...

Bandwise 1 (Associated Board grades 1-2)
Bandwise 2 (Associated Board grades 3-4)
Bandwise 3 (Associated Board grades 5+)

A copy of the music and a rehearsal CD will be sent to you before the course giving you pleanty of time to practise!

There are no auditions. The children are carefully supervised and the bands are conducted by specialist leaders.

"Thankyou to everyone involved...just a few months ago my daughter was on the verge of giving up flute lessons because all she could see ahead was the grades treadmill ... now she can see how great it is to be part of a huge group of musicians, and can't wait for next year" Parent

"A big thank you to everyone involved in organising the bandwise course this year. This was my son's first time playing in a band and he found it a fantastic experience. I still don't know how you managed to coordinate such a vast number of youths of all ages!" Parent

"My children thoroughly enjoyed Bandwise and we thought the concert was excellent." Parent

"Many thanks for organising such a wonderful concert, we all enjoyed it enormously!" Parent
