The Bollywood Brass Band can tailor workshops, interactive talks and performances to young people at all key stages. Our workshops link to the National Curriculum and the learning experience is enhanced by:

  • Enabling young people to experience Bollywood music live
  • Demonstrating the use of less common instruments (Dhol, Tabla, Sousaphone)
  • Promoting diversity and awareness of other cultures
  • Linking to other study areas, such as history, geography and religious studies
  • Meeting real musicians

A Teachers' Pack containing worksheets and information about the band and the history of Bollywood cinema, is left with every school after the workshop to enable work on Bollywood music to continue.
