SC&T Youth Workshops

We offer a diverse and high quality workshops series throughout the year, offering engaging opportunities for young people up to the age of 26. Primarily focusing on skills and development, our workshops are designed to cater to a wide range of interests and skill levels.

With both online and in person workshop options, we try to be as flexible as we can to ensure participants choose the learning environment that suits their needs best.

Our upcoming workshop programme is very exciting, covering a variety of topics related to Scottish traditional music including opportunities to further your experience of composition; preparing for performances; preparing for competitions; and more.
