We're back! After moving all our activity and courses online due to the pandemic The National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain (NYBBGB) is now planning to hold our summer 2021 courses in person and residential. To say we are excited is an understatement. We hope to welcome 130 young musicians to the Children's Band and the Youth Band residential summer courses. They will receive instrumental tuition from outstanding specialist tutors, be conducted by world leaders in their field, tackle advanced brass band repertoire and make new friends for life.

We have set up a Bursary Fund to ensure that no young musician is excluded from this fabulous experience due to cost. We hope to raise £6,000 to provide 10 bursaries for young musicians attending courses this summer. We really hope you can help by making a donation. The NYBBGB is a registered charity, established in 1952.

The NYBBGB is the UK's leading brass band charity for children and young people. We exist to give the brightest young brass and percussion musicians the opportunity to develop their musicianship, play together and inspire others. Entry is by audition and our young musicians have serious potential. We are growing the next generation of brass and percussion instrumentalists, teachers and music leaders.
