Music Instruction & Performance

The Music Instruction & Performance team vision is to offer inclusive and enriching opportunities for children and young people in Moray to reach their potential together through learning to play a musical instrument.

Our aim is to support and challenge all learners to thrive in their learning and wellbeing: across and beyond the curriculum; as well as socially, emotionally and behaviourally – equipping all with skills for life to contribute effectively to society.

Our values are Creativeness, Enjoyment & Achievement.

The Music Instruction & Performance team:
• Offers instrumental music instruction on a range of instruments to children and young people in primary and secondary school. For more information on instrumental music instruction or how to register your child's interest in learning a musical instrument click here.
• Runs the Moray Music Centre, a programme of regional ensembles providing children and young people who play an orchestral or wind band instrument an opportunity to play with others at a regional level. For more information on Moray Music Centre click here.
• Delivers the Youth Music Initiative programme, funded by Scottish Government (Youth Music Initiative Formula Fund) and administered by Creative Scotland, creating access to high quality music making opportunities for young people, offering children and young people a chance to achieve their potential in or through music making, and supporting the development of the youth music sector for the benefit of young people.

• Runs the Moray Young Musicians competition in partnership with the Music Education Partnership Group (MEPG) – Scottish Young Musicians and Elgin & Forres Rotary Clubs.
