Classes for mixed instrument
Learn to play music in arrangements with other people. Embrace your creativity and enjoy the diversity to be discovered in the beginners mixed instrument group as we create our own arrangements of a variety of traditional tunes together. All instruments (and muscians!) welcome. For people who have been playing for a year or more.

The Scots Music Group’s ceilidh band will work on their current repertoire, add some new sets and play for dancing! New folk and instruments are particularly welcome, and there will be time in class for new recruits to work at their own pace. We will also be looking at rhythms, harmonies, accompaniments and working on the skills needed to play together as a band. There will be many opportunities to play for dancing at community events.
New folk and instruments are particularly welcome.
