The National Centre of Excellence in Traditional Music offers an exciting opportunity for young Scottish traditional musicians to develop their talent to its full potential. Under the direction of piper and former Battlefield Band member Dougie Pincock (pictured) the Centre offers top class tuition in pipes, fiddle, accordion, clàrsach, piano, guitar, whistle, flute and both Gaelic and Scots song and the Centre's array of tutors feature amongst the finest traditional musicians in Scotland.
Admission is by audition, and successful candidates are expected to show a high standard of performing ability as well as evidence of genuine potential to develop as a traditional musician.
The Centre was established at Plockton High School, Wester Ross in May 2000 with funding from the Scottish Executive's Excellence Fund and Highland Council.
