We are very sad to finish our last music session with the musician from @DrakeMusicScot, who has taught us the creative digital way to make music! Can't wait for our first EP comes out! We are calling more funding for ASN Music Education please! @scotgov @ScotGovEdu

Due to the red weather warning in several areas across the country tomorrow (Friday 24th January), we have decided to reschedule all MusicSPACE sessions to another day. There will therefore be no MusicSPACE sessions on Friday 24th. Normal scheduling will resume next week.
