Creative music workshop for young people in Aberdeenshire

Sound is a contemporary music charity based in Aberdeenshire which helps to facilitate composers and gives opportunities to young local musicians by running free monthly creative music workshops.

The charity’s next session on Sunday 26 February will be led by Dr John de Simone, composition lecturer at University of Aberdeen. There will be the opportunity at the end of the session to get 1-1 support with any current compositions, advice on applying for Music at university, and any other help that might be needed.
