2nd Hook Scout and Guide Band
The Band was formed in 1967 and draws its members from the local scout, guide and brownie groups. The musicians ages range from 8 to 25 and they form the band which
caters for a junior and a senior section. The young people are taught brass, percussion and wind instruments and often lead parades plus entertaining the public. Their core values are taken from the Scout and Guide way of life. To help get the most out of their instruments the young band members require 1:1 tutoring. By assisting the bandleader you will be teaching the Junior Band up to Grade 1 or 2. Senior Band members need a higher degree of technical knowledge and already play at the equivalent of Grade 3 or above, however, they would benefit so much more with someone guiding them. This is a great opportunity and a fun way to learn music whilst helping someone with their music skills. For more infomation contact
