Hebden Bridge Junior Band is a community brass band for players up to 19 years old. We perform at concerts and community events throughout the year, travelling across the UK as well as abroad.
Complete beginners and experienced players welcome.
Founded in 1971, Hebden Bridge Junior Band gives young people aged 7–19 the chance to learn brass instruments, build confidence and perform together. We provide instruments, tuition and a friendly musical community where complete beginners can start their journey.
We welcome complete beginners with no previous music experience at all. Come along to a friendly Thursday rehearsal, try out different instruments and get all the support and guidance you need to start playing with confidence.
If you already play brass confidently, join our Performing Band directly. You'll rehearse with other skilled players, tackle challenging music, and perform regularly at concerts, community events, and private functions throughout the year.
The band provides brass instruments to all members, so you can start playing without buying an instrument. As you progress, you're welcome to continue using our instruments or purchase your own.
