Everyone needs to keep learning, even instructors. To help bands progress and instructors develop their skills, Train the Trainer returns for 2019, bigger and better than ever.

 

When: Saturday 9 March
Tea and coffee from 8.30
9.15 - 18.00
Optional evening meal (additional cost)
Where: Nene Park Academy, Oundle Road, Peterborough PE2 7EA   
Cost: To cover the cost of opening the school we regretfully have to make a small charge of £2 per participant for BYBA member bands and £5 per participant for non-BYBA-member bands.

Content

With a day packed full of practical sessions taught by an experienced team, instructors are sure to come away with some top tips they can put into action straight away. The training is suitable for young (minimum advisory age 11) and not-so-young alike; last year some very experienced bandmasters said they learned new things, so you are definitely never too old to benefit!

And what’s more, it’s just £2 per participant for BYBA members, one of the many benefits of joining the increasingly diverse BYBA family (and remember that membership is free for the first year if you are new to BYBA – what have you got to lose?).

This year we recognise the differing needs of traditional bands, drums corps and show bands by offering separate streams of learning.

Music

  1. chromatic brass
  2. bugles
  3. mallets
  4. drum corps style drumming
  5. traditional style drumming

Visual

  1. movement (for drums corps and show bands)
  2. drill (for traditional bands)

Too often we just assume that everyone can teach, so new for 2019 we bring you a stream focusing on how to teach, including learning styles, planning and organising.
