Gosforth Band is a mixed instrumental ensemble designed for children from Year 3 up to Year 8, primarily from first and middle schools within the Gosforth Schools Trust. It’s open to complete beginners right through to experienced players. We get together to learn new pieces and develop as musicians, gaining valuable musicianship skills and a good sense of ensemble.
