One of the characteristics of our band is its division in two: on one side there is the senior band, made by 65 members, who are the expert players, and on the other side there is the junior band, where the youngest members play for about three years. The junior band welcomes a new member after he or she has become familiar with their instrument thanks to the lessons (which are free and organised by the band with the cooperation of music teachers who don’t necessarily belong to the band itself). It allows the union between the learning process and the experience of playing real pieces of music in a group.
