We are always looking for new players, be it a complete beginner or someone who has played before and are looking to get back into playing after a period away from it. We are a friendly band who are willing to help you, no matter how advanced you may be. We can lend you an instrument, and teach you for free, with band fees (\u00a360 a year) only kicking in once you have graduated into the main performance band.<\/p>\n

Don’t take our word for it. Below from some of our newest members: <\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

“I enquired about joining WTB in December 2024 as a new brass instrument learner. I had tried for years to learn an instrument at home or via YouTube videos etc. but missed the ability to play with others. I contacted the band and was encouraged to come along to the weekly rehearsals. From the very start I was met with encouragement, warmth and a desire to help. In my case one of the band members has been willing to give up their time to teach me, for which I am very grateful. In my short experience, WTB take their music very seriously but in a non-intimidating way for a learner like me.<\/em><\/p>\n

If you wish to play an instrument and make music with other people in a warm and friendly environment, I highly recommend contacting WTB and coming along.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“We came across Wolverton Town Band at a try-out session at Wolverton Rec and it\u2019s been brilliant for my son ever since. He\u2019s in Year 5 and never played a brass instrument, but the progress he\u2019s made already has genuinely blown me away.<\/em>
The instructors and wider band members are so friendly, enthusiastic and patient, and it really shows in how much they know and how well they explain things. My son comes home buzzing every time and it\u2019s sparked a real passion for music that I wasn\u2019t expecting.<\/em>
I also love that he gets to learn alongside such a mix of ages \u2013 it\u2019s given him a real sense of what he\u2019s working towards and he loves being part of something bigger. He\u2019s already looking forward to playing alongside the band one day and we couldn\u2019t be happier we found them.<\/em>
What really stands out is how accessible it all is \u2013 lessons, instruments and resources are provided, which makes learning an instrument possible for families who might not otherwise be able to afford it.<\/em>
Highly recommend to any family, or individual, thinking about giving it a go.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Fancy playing in a brass band? Why not come and join us! It doesn’t cost much (Subs are currently \u00a360 per year) and we’re always on the look out for new players. Our developement section do not currently pay subs, but will be eligable for payments once they graduate to our main performance band. This means that your instrument loan and tuition are free, so there is no barrier to learning with us.<\/p>\n

We currently play at the Old Bath House, 205 Stratford Road, Wolverton, Milton Keynes, MK12 5RL – on Monday evenings (Set up from 7:15pm, aiming to play by 7:30)<\/p>\n

Parking can be found alongside the Old Bath House on the road to Lidl supermarket, enter the main hall by the loading bay.<\/p>\n

We’re looking for brass players of all ages, abilities and instruments to join our friendly, community band. Maybe you’re new to playing an instrument, or already play – it might even be a totally different instrument to brass, but you fancy a change! \u00a0We offer free use of a band-owned instrument, music stand and other accessories.<\/p>\n

If you think we’re your kind of band, why not come and have a listen? Or, complete our form and someone will be in touch with you very soon.<\/p>\n
