Scots Music Group

Scots Music Group runs traditional music and song classes for adults, informal sessions, monthly ceilidhs and other social events.

We are a community-based charity in Edinburgh.

Scots Music Group is a charity with a strong ethos of community-building, using traditional music, song and dance to bring people together.

We actively support and encourage our students to gain the skills and confidence to take their music back into their own communities. We rely on the enormous goodwill of all our members who get involved in making things happen.

Over the years, the organisation has been instrumental in the resurgence of interest in Scottish traditional music, song and dance, both in Edinburgh and further afield. Much of this has happened due to the enthusiasm and commitment of our team of tutors, and the willingness of members to join together in developing a large number of opportunities for sharing music, song and dance with others in the community. We support regular sessions, performances, ceilidhs and many other exciting events.

Community...

Over the years SMG has run a number of community projects. In addition to this, SMG students have been encouraged to take their music out into the community, which they have done in a variety of ways.
