Music classes in Edinburgh

In these Scottish traditional music classes for adults, you can build your confidence to play your instrument, and join with others to explore the fun of music. We’ll mainly be learning Scottish folk tunes. All classes and workshops are taught by ear.

Getting involved in learning folk music is a great way to join an informal community of musicians across the country. Many musicians play in regular pub sessions, where they relax with friends for the evening, sharing tunes together. We’ll be supporting players to build their confidence to join their local session.
