Amersham Band

Amersham Band

A community brass band providing opportunity to participate in three different ensemble groups

We provide music entertainment for the local community and we teach music to people of all ages and abilities. Thanks to the generous support of many people in our community we have just completed the construction of a purpose built rehearsal facility in Amersham. This will enable us to expand and provide group music education which is accessible to all.

Why the community needs us
Music making within a group has many positive aspects, it is fun, reduces stress, encourages social interaction, and can inspire people to take action to change their lives. Our plans for Amersham Band extend the accessibility of learning music throughout the local community, in particular to young people and senior citizens. We plan to make the new facility a focus for community music and arts activities.

Our impact on the community
We currently have over 100 members with 3 separate bands and our Brass Roots group sessions run twice weekly for beginner and elementary players, both young and old. We are planning to launch a new Big Band and a Youth Band. Our new building also provides a base for private individual music tuition.

After the coronavirus restrictions are lifted we will resume our busy concert programme, supporting local civic occasions, community events, formal concerts, and open workshop sessions.
