About
Just Brass Conference 2021
The conference sessions lined up for this year will provide training for leaders and volunteers and for those interested in starting a Just Brass program. It will include: band workshop, teaching strategies, available resources for band and teaching, music writing, fellowship opportunities and many more. Due to varied levels of COVID-19 restrictions all across the country, the conference will be delivered in 2 ways. See options below:
OPTION 1 - Conference Hub. Delegates can gather and attend the online conference together. The Conference Hub is a great avenue to collaborate, to workshop with other musicians and to get first hand stories and information from leaders of other programs. Scroll down to see locations of conference hubs. Covid restrictions will be strictly observed in the hubs during the conference, see links below for more information.
