Young SC&T is an exciting opportunity for children P4 – P7 to participate in Aberdeen International Youth Festival (AIYF) whilst developing and exploring their skills in traditional music.
Learning from experienced tutors, the young talent will be engaged in a week long series of intensive classes to help younger musicians extend their repertoires in Scottish Traditional Music. Participants will perform at the university on August 3rd, 4.30pm to show off their new skills to a live audience. To qualify, young people should be able to play some simple tunes on an instrument. The classes run from Monday 30th July to Friday 3rd August 2012 from 10am until 3pm. The course will be held at Aberdeen University and costs £50. Drinks will be provided, but each child is asked to bring their own lunch.

June 12 - Return from FestiRibe
30 musicians and dancers from SC&T made the return visit to Ribe for a long weekend in early June. Along with  the RIBE DANSE- og SPILLEMANDSLAUG, they played outdoors in Ribe town centre and on the island of Rømø
(and some on Føne) and at the Viking Centre. FestiRibe was on the Saturday with the morning's playing in the town centre, workshops with tunes and dance in the afternoon followed by dinner and a ceilidh with both Danish and Scottish musicians providing the music for the dancing.
 Everyone was looked after well by the Danish hosts and there was even time to visit the town (the oldest in Denmark) and the islands of the Wadden Sea close by.A big thank you to all the hosts and to David (ex-SC&T now living in Denmark) who made the connections for us, to Sharon who led the music and Hector who made the arrangements. And thanks to everyone who participated. |
