One of the most important aspects in learning an instrument is having the opportunity to play with other people. It can be daunting for students in the early stages to take part in local ensembles and for adults in particular there are not many in the area that are suitable for beginners. If you are looking for a local ensemble to rehearse with please see the training band page.
If you are under 18 and are looking to join an ensemble run by West Sussex Music Service please visit the Western Area Music Centre page. Here you will find details of the various ensembles that are run and the levels required to join. There is something for most instrumentalists to join and the levels start from beginners upwards.
