If you're interested in making music in a group in Caithness, please go and have a look at our website www.caithnessmusic.com
We offer a wide variety of group music making opportunities for musicians of all ages from 5 to 95 years and all abilities from complete beginner to trained professional. Our organisation is based on four principles: honesty, kindness, inclusivity and sharing. So all group
music making activities are always welcoming and friendly and we always aim to keep costs as low as possible to make activities affordable to absolutely everyone. Experienced music tutors Susie and Katrina delight in teaching a wide variety of students of all ages. If you'd like to support your group music making experience with a private lesson, you can choose to have an individual lesson, share your lesson with a friend, or learn in a small group. Your first lesson is free of charge! We have a selection of instruments available for you to try before you choose, and you can borrow an instrument for a few months to get you started. Lessons are available on the following instruments:
•Piano / keyboard
•All woodwind (including recorder, saxophone, flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon)
•All brass (including french horn, trumpet and brass band instruments)
•Vocal coaching (including language coaching in French, Italian, German and Russian for advanced singers)
•Orchestral string instruments - if you're looking for a friendly teacher in the early stages of learning to play a string instrument, we can help. We enjoy teaching students of all ages. The best age to begin depends on which instrument you want to play - we are happy to teach piano or recorder from around six years of age. As well as working with school aged children, we love helping adult learners. No previous muscial experience is necessary, so don't be shy! In addition to instrumental tuition, we also offer:
