Introduction
Music-making can transform and here, at the Junior Conservatoire of Music, we aim to change
lives. But we also like to have fun.
Whether it's your individual music lesson to make you the best you can be, playing in the
Symphony Orchestra, Chamber Orchestra, Wind Orchestra or the Big Band, singing in the Choir or
taking part in music workshops, Saturdays will never be the same.
We have some of the country's best teachers, enjoying Scotland's best facilities and engaging
with some of the most talented young musicians from far and wide. You too can be one of them.
Join us at the Junior Conservatoire, change your life and have some fun.
Classes take place from mid September until June and each year about 270 students attend,
from Aberdeen, Annan, Aberfeldy, Ardrishaig, Carnoustie, Dundee, Dunoon, Edinburgh, Falkirk,
Glasgow, Inverness, Moffat, Perth, Pitlochry, St. Andrews, Skye, Newcastle, the Lake District and
Stranraer.
There is a wide variety of music classes available for each student. Students may also have
the opportunity to take part in, or attend, concerts at a number of venues around Scotland. Since
all the classes are held on a Saturday, students can enjoy their music-making without interruption
to their normal weekday school and family life.
The atmosphere is supportive, encouraging and welcoming - above all, students are encouraged
to fully develop their musical potential.
We look forward to welcoming you here.
