Under the musical direction of Chris Hoppelman, Lizzie Kennett and John Gafney the band has recently welcomed a number of new players within its ranks. The Learners Band is always keen to recruit more, especially the lower instruments. Although, ultimately, it is hoped that players in the Learners Band will be able to move up to Ware Brass itself, the Learners Band also performs regularly in its own concerts as well as supporting those of the main band.
