The College’s Brass department hit the road for the first time last term with On the Move, helping young people from all backgrounds across South Wales to access the performing arts.

“The On the Move workshops provide young people with an opportunity to engage with the arts, to develop personal confidence through participating in live music, and to help nurture a spirit of community and self-identity,” explains head of brass Roger Argente.
“They also give teachers much-needed support and resource in delivering the music curriculum.”

Brass quintet Flora Brass have been leading the project this term.
“On The Move is very important to us as a quintet because it gives us the opportunity to go out and perform to people.
“Seeing the children enjoy it really makes it worthwhile,” said Flora Brass member, Bethany Peck.
“The performances have also helped immensely with our confidence for public speaking as an ensemble. We have learnt how to help engage with the children in a fun and informative way.”
