Two of the UK'92s most prestigious music summer schools; The International Brass Band Summer School and the Uppingham Brass Band Summer School enjoyed a record number of delegates as euphonium and baritone students from all over the world attended the residential music courses where they were able to study intensively with David Childs.

Musicians from throughout Europe, USA and Japan attended both the International Brass Band Summer School conducted by Robert & Nicholas Childs, and the Uppingham Summer School conducted by Richard Evans. Every euphonium student received an individual lesson with David and also received expert tuition in an ensemble and band enviroment.

Both summer schools were a great success and will both run again next year. Check out the photos below!
