Gosforth Band is a mixed instrumental ensemble designed for children from Year 3 up to Year 8, primarily from first and middle schools within the Gosforth Schools Trust. It’s open to complete beginners right through to experienced players. We get together to learn new pieces and develop as musicians, gaining valuable musicianship skills and a good sense of ensemble.

We rehearse around ten pieces each year, working towards our annual MPN Big Gig performance in June. Young people are given copies of sheet music for their parts and have access to backing tracks using our digital platform. Musicians are develop or consolidate music notation reading, sight reading skills and gain a further insight into music theory. Rehearsals are dynamic and fun!

Rehearsals take place on set Wednesdays during term time. For more information, please see our event calendar. For any queries, please email us.
