📣 We’re Moving to One Central Page! 📣

To help keep things simple and make sure you never miss an update, we’ve now brought everything together on one central page: Music Collective Scotland (previously our Angus page).

This means we’ll no longer be posting updates on this Dundee page — instead, you can find all our news, class info, timetables, and events for both the Dundee and Arbroath studios on our main page going forward.

Please make sure to follow our new central page here:


Thanks so much for following along — we’ll see you over there!

🎻 Meet Sarah – Our New String Tutor! 🎶

Sarah brings a wealth of experience and passion for teaching, and we’re excited for our students to learn from her. Get in touch to book a space!

👇 Read more about Sarah below:

Sarah Nail is a native of Tallahassee, Florida. She began her musical studies on the violin at the age of three before switching to cello at six. She attended the Alabama School of Fine Arts and Interlochen Arts Academy. She then went on to obtain her Bachelor of Music in Cello Performance from DePaul University, where she studied with Steven Balderston of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

Sarah received her Masters Degree from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, where she studied with Alison Wells and Martin Storey. After moving to Glasgow in 2019, she played with the Scottish Opera, BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, and the RSNO. She has also worked and performed with the Scottish Ensemble, the Brodsky Quartet, and the Scottish Pops Orchestra. Sarah participated in studio recording and film projects. In 2022, her piano trio (Trio Alora) performed at Wigmore Hall, in London, for the Cavatina Intercollegiate Competition and was awarded the Audience Prize.

Sarah has performed alongside singer songwriters Siobhan Wilson and Rachel Johnson, collaborating in studio recordings as well as live performances across Scotland.

She has also participated in educational side-by-side projects with the Angus Youth Orchestra, while also being an Instrumental Ambassador for the Benedetti Foundation, and instructor for Dundee City Council. In her free time, she enjoys freelancing across Scotland and is an active chamber musician in her community, performing with the Soteria Piano Trio.

🎹✨ Ruaridh – The Spanish Guitar ✨🎹

Ruaridh has picked up ‘The Spanish Guitar’ so quickly, and it’s already one of his favourites from his Grade 3 programme! His hard work and enthusiasm for the piece really shine through in his playing.

Keep up the great work, Ruaridh! 👏👏

🎶 Building Confidence Through Performance! 🎶

Ben has been working hard on Cyber Space from the ABRSM Grade 1 syllabus, and this piece has been a real favourite among our students this year! 🎶✨

To help build his confidence, we’ve been recording his performances regularly—an amazing way to track progress and get comfortable with playing under pressure. He’s making fantastic progress, and we’re hoping he’ll be ready to complete his Grade 1 later this year! 🎵👏

Great job, Ben! Keep up the brilliant work! 🌟🎶
