Wow what a year we've had in our LEARN programme in 2023-24!
Our fabulous team of Associate Musicians up and down the country have worked with 1,295 young people, delivering 852 sessions to 59 schools in 15 local authorities in our All Join In and Digital Orchestra: Youth programmes.
This year we've seen the number of young people we're working with rise by 28.3% but funding is pretty much staying the same, so even more thanks to our team for bringing music to even more young lives.
IMAGE DESCRIPTION - Infographic in bright colours with the information: Drake Music Scotland LEARN. In 2023-24 we delivered 852 sessions which is around 1,675 hours, working with 59 schools, partnering with 15 local authorities to 1,295 young people. More of these are with primary and early years than secondary and youth. "I have been in education for over 30 years and I have to say working with Drake Music Scotland has been one of the most rewarding experiences I've had" and "Drake provide children and young people with an excellent experience that makes a positive difference to their lives". There are 4 photos of young people.

What a night!
Elevate - “A night showcasing the brilliant and diverse talents of disabled musicians.”
As part of Make Music Day UK, our musicians performed their first ever gig at the Old Lab at Summerhall It was a wonderful night of live music, supported by a sell out and raucous audience.
Big thanks to all the amazing performers, audience and house band. Plus to our fab stage manager and everyone at the Old Lab.
Some great footage of the gig to come but for now here's a few photos from the night.
We’ll be back in the Old Lab on Sunday 29th September for Out of the Common – an unmissable treat of new tracks by this exciting collective of musicians and dancers.

We can’t wait to hear the full realisation of Ewan Mackay ‘s lyrical new lansdcape-inspired work Where Heaven and the Horizon Meet, scored for switch-operated Notion software, flute, clarinet, violin, viola, and cello.
💡Tickets still available for Making Waves - Queens Hall Concert with the wonderful Hebrides Ensemble featuring new work for electronics + acoustic instruments
🌊🌊🌊
Ewan Mackay's work is coloured by his own personal experiences of the landscape, which has inspired him as a creative individual. He strives to bring his listeners and audiences alike into the landscape, which surrounds him. Described as darkly lyrical, Mackay's work is tonal - and modal, and he describes his work as neo-impressionist - drawing on the influences and traditions of composers such as Claude Debussy, Toru Takemitsu and Anne Boyd as well as Scottish traditional music, and the space, place and culture of North-East Scotland. The result of these inspirations blend to create a sound which is thoughtful, melancholic, and listenable.
His new work 'Where Heaven and the Horizon Meet' is the culmination of a longer-term relationship between him, Drake Music Scotland, Hebrides Ensemble, and the Disabled Artist Network which has seen him compose multiple works to expand his horizons and to develop his skills as a composer.
It has been a joy working with him, and we are so excited to hear this new work which will be premiered on 13th June in The Queen's Hall, Edinburgh

‘So what does a left-hand only piece sound like?’ ‘It’s almost like an aural deception. You’re seeing one hand on the piano but your ears hear something that sounds like two or three hands playing’, Nicholas McCarthy, pianist.
This concert will be a glorious celebration of left-hand piano repertoire, including the much anticipated new commission from Joe Stollery.

We're delighted to invite you all to join us at 'Forests and Trees', a concert of new music created by the young people of Aberdeenshire Schools at Haddo House NTS on Tuesday 14th May 2024.
This year, Drake Music Scotland have explored the theme of Forests and Trees with their projects in Aberdeenshire’s Additional Support Needs Schools.
Environmental Sustainability is hugely important for us as an organisation, and the Aberdeenshire landscape has changed so much in recent years due to forestry work and storms. We wanted to explore what Forests and Trees mean to the young people in the schools by asking them to write their own compositions based on the theme.
We are showcasing their creative achievements with live performances and films showcasing their own compositions at Haddo House, a venue in the heart of
Aberdeenshire who were devastatingly affected by storm Arwen in 2021, losing 100,000 of their trees.

This lovely little video is from one of our Associate Musicians, Lesley with some behind the scenes prep for school sessions for our LEARN programme. You can see here she is making fun little backing tracks for young people to jam along to with ThumbJam using Figurenotes colours. These kinds of tracks are fantastic in creating relaxed atmospheres in sessions and offering plenty of space for exploration. Video Visual Description - Laptop with Logic Software open with several tracks, and in front an iPad with the app Thumbjam open. Lesley's hand is running up and down the app to play the notes on the app along with the backing track. #DMSLearn #LEARN #BTS #BehindTheScenes #AccessibleMusic #Thumbjam #Figurenotes #Logic

Young people who take part in #DMSLearn projects have the opportunity to express themselves through music. 🎼 Our Associate Musician, Abi, talks about how Jessica taught her a piece of music: For weeks she had been singing this tune to me and playing bits of it on the keyboard, every time we worked together. Then she would gesture for me to play it but I had no idea what it was. She always seemed a bit frustrated that I didn't know it, so I asked her to teach me how to play it. I definitely didn't get it all right! It was my first time trying but I just love how delighted she was when I picked some of it up. I guess that was her way of communicating her music with me. This project was funded through Aberdeenshire Council from Creative Scotland's Youth Music Initiative Funding. Live Life Aberdeenshire #YMusicMatters

Please share sign this vital petition from Sanjeev Mann aka Supermann on da beat. The petition is asking the UK government to take action & make funding available to make venues fully accessible and to improve access to stages, toilets, bars, and viewing areas fully accessible to disabled people! We need more role models to show it's possible and Sanjeev is a great example. SIGN HERE https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/630579 READ SANJEEV'S FULL STATEMENT 👇🏽 ‘For too long, the needs and rights of disabled people have been made secondary to financial costs and this isn’t good enough anymore. For a country that claims to be progressive, Scotland and the UK should be leading the way in making the world a more accessible place. But over the last 10 years, we haven’t made much progress in terms of physical accessibility and raising awareness about the importance of this and how it impacts the lives of millions of disabled people They recognise the core issue but do nothing about it. For example, people acknowledge that they want equality and want all buildings to be accessible, yet nobody feels obliged to do anything so we can move forward. To deliver change everyone must share responsibility for the world around them without expecting others, in this case, disabled people, to push for equal access. In terms of the arts, there seems to be a common misconception that disabled people don’t really exist. There are reasons why you can’t name 5 disabled musicians from the top of your head. Why? There are two main reasons. Firstly, people have very low expectations and they’re shocked and surprised when they realise that disabled people can be equally successful as their able-bodied counterparts - this idea needs to change. Secondly, how can you expect equality when disabled people often can’t access stages to perform? Millions of musicians start their careers by performing at small local independent venues, but for disabled people, this just is
