Have you always wanted to play the clarsach, accordion or harmonica? Or learn to play traditional music along with others or sing Scottish songs? Or perhaps you want to get ready for your next ceilidh dance?
Our traditional Scottish music, song and dance evening classes are filling up fast, but there are still limited places left in some classes.
Classes run on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, beginning the week of 13 September at Harlaw Academy. You can find out more about the classes here.
There are still some places left in accordion, banjo, bodhran, ceilidh dance, clarsach*, fiddle*, flute, guitar, harmonica, mandolin*, pipes, song and whistle. But hurry, many classes are filling up fast so register now to avoid disappointment!
The following classes are now full:

However, if there is enough demand we may be able to run additional classes, so if you would like to be added to the waiting list please contact the SC&T office and we'll keep you informed.
*SC&T has one set of full Highland pipes, one full-size fiddle, one clarsach and one mandolin for hire.
The Scottish Culture and Traditions Association activities are supported by Aberdeen City Council, by the National Lottery through the Scottish Arts Council and by local organisations and individual supporters and volunteers.

May 11 - May Festival: Day Of Song
A DAY OF SONG
'A Day of Song' aims to raise the profile of contemporary traditional singing as an art form and to raise awareness of the rich resources available to today's singers of the Greig-Duncan Folk Song Collection, gathered here in the North-East of Scotland between 1904 and 1914.
We aim to create a celebration and encourage young singers, and those new to the art, to see the potential for artistic development and new interpretations of this repertoire.
