We are now offering the opportunity to join a 6 week, specialist-led course at our MusicSPACE, focused on trying new things and learning musical skills.

Scheduled at intervals throughout the academic year, these free-to-attend groups of four to six people will get a chance to try out different instruments, have a go at songwriting and explore Figurenotes notation.

Thanks David. Our programme in schools includes several around Scotland with autistic pupils, an area very dear to our hearts and @Figurenotes helps them start reading music notation. If you'd ever like to come along and visit a project some time you'd be very welcome! https://t.co/rYkWCHAbW6
