Emma Heard
Musical Director
Plymouth Soundhouse Youth Brass Band is made up of around 20 youngsters and a few adult learners all wanting to play in a band and improve their playing.
Attendance is free of charge with musical tuition provided from Emma Heard (Musical Director) and a team of tutors from the senior band. We can also lend instruments free of charge for children wanting to join the band.
The Youth band perform in concerts and compete in the Saltash Music Festival each year.
The Youth Band rehearse every week from 6.00-7.30pm in the Soundhouse, Estover Community College, Estover, Plymouth.
New members of any standard (even complete beginners) are always welcome to join. The more the merrier! Please email soundhousebrass@hotmail.co.uk .
We are really pleased to welcome back Emma as the Musical Director of Soundhouse Youth Band. It is of course the training Band she first set up in 2003.
She brings with her a vast amount of musical experience in both teaching (conducts her own primary school brass band ‘Widewell Brass’) and performance, grade 8 in both Trumpet & Piano.
As a classically trained pianist she studied trumpet, piano and conducting with Joseph Horovitz at the Royal College of Music and gained BA(Hons) in Band studies from the University of Sheffield under the tutelage of Arthur Butterworth, Darrol Barry and Richard Evans.
In 2006 with Soundhouse Brass, she won the Best Section player at Bugle Contest and in the same year won the soloist prize at the Exmouth Entertainment Contest.
