Vacancies

We are excited to let you know that the Heathfield Silver Band is looking to recruit new members. All sections including percussion. (we can double up)

Perhaps you haven’t picked up an instrument for a while and would like to get back into playing? Perhaps you have started to learn recently and would like a new challenge? Contact us if you are interested, whatever your level of experience. We have instruments to lend if you need one.
We rehearse on Tuesday evenings from 7.30 - 9.30pm in our own rehearsal room, and we have a training band on the same evening from 6.45pm if you would like to brush up your technique. We have a number of performances lined up which you are most welcome to come along to; they are listed on our website, and we hope to see you soon.

Why learn to play

It will make you smarter

It will make you smarter. Learning to play an instrument stimulates the brain, improving functions like memory and abstract reasoning skills, which are essential for maths and science.

Improved social life

Playing an instrument isn’t only good for your brain, it’s also great for expanding your social circle. Joining a brass band at any age encourages you to develop relationships with new kinds of people.

You will be healthier

Music keeps you calm. It has a unique effect on our emotions, and has even been proven to lower heart rate and blood pressure. You will have fun, and that's good for everyone.

Our Training Program

Our training band has been running for many years and is now under David, our new musical director and, of course, has the appropriate DBS checks in place. All our rehearsals take place in our own bandroom in Alexandra Road, Heathfield TN21 8EA.

18.45 - 19.15 - THE TRAINING BAND

​

The Training Band comprises learners who have progressed from The Lesson Band and are learning to play ensemble pieces. They meet on Tuesday nights from 18.45 to 19.15. Now you can start to hear yourself sounding like a player as part of a larger group. You'll learn how to make your music fit in with that of others, how to blend with other musicians, and work as a team. This is when people often fall in love with the sound of brass music.

19:30 - 21:30 - THE MAIN BAND

The main band is the group that performs at all events, and takes in members who have developed from the training band. We are also open to players of all abilities who are visiting the area, or have taken a break from playing music and want to come back to it. Just come along a litte earlier and meet our Musical Director.

Interested in Joining?

We understand you might be nervous, or shy. Don't worry, we are a very friendly bunch of people who enjoy welcoming new players. It doesn't matter whether you are 8 or 80, or whether you are a professional player or have never picked up an instrument. Come and say hello :)

Thanks for your feedback!
