Rachel Bell - Solo Horn-

  Rachel began playing the tenor horn when she was nine, when she was approached by her music teacher about auditioning to play a brass instrument. After being chosen to play the Tenor horn by Bob Dales, she began lessons with him at Driffield Junior School.

  During this time, Rachel played in the school orchestra and the East Riding Junior Youth Brass Band for a short time. When she moved up to secondary school she took up lessons with the East Riding Schools music service which meant she had to play in the East Riding Senior Wind Band. While in the sixth form she resumed playing with the East Riding Youth Brass Band, where she remained until 2003.

  Rachel began playing with Driffield Silver Band in 2002 while studying at University. She moved onto Solo Horn in 2007 when Andy Grace took over the baton.

Rachel returned to playing in 2018 after a year off to have a baby -
