Create a free account to applyPick up a free penny whistle and learn Scottish traditional music by ear, or join a higher-level group if you already play. Build arrangements with musicians at your pace, then take part in events and festivals through the year.
The Scottish Culture and Traditions Weekly Performance Group is a collaborative musical ensemble for young people who want to learn, play and perform Scottish traditional music together. The group brings together participants at different ability levels, from complete beginners to advanced players, and encourages everyone to develop at their own pace in a supportive environment.
There are four class levels: totally beginner, improvers, intermediate and advanced. Beginners who do not already play an instrument can receive a free penny whistle and basic tuition, while more experienced players can join the higher-level groups.
The emphasis is on learning by ear, building confidence and contributing to group arrangements.
Sessions take place weekly during term time at the MacRobert Building, University of Aberdeen. Participants also have the chance to work on performance sets during the sessions and take part in events and festivals through the year.
The classes are free to attend, with optional donations available for families who would like to contribute.
