a strong network of tutors with ties to the area

artists lead the exploration of landscape and compilation of material relating to place:

  • Gill Russell Glenkindie (AB33) 
  • Pete Stollery Aberdeen (AB24)

composers are drawn from our strong existing network of award-winning (MG ALBA Scots Trad Music Award), established and emerging musicians with strong ties to the area: 

  • Adam Sutherland 2017 Composer of the Year: fiddle, mixed instruments
  • Jenny Sturgeon from Tullienessle (AB33) 2020 SAMA 'Best Acoustic': singer songwriter
  • Paul Anderson Tarland (AB34): fiddle

  • Shona Donaldson Tarland (AB34) 2009 Scots Singer of the Year: Scots song

  • Fraser Fifield from Glen Tanar (AB34): low whistle, mixed instruments
  • Hamish Napier: keyboards, flute, voice

local tutors have significant experience in accompaniment working with the composers and in prior workshops with children and younger adults. They have an important role in the arrangement, recording and teaching of  tunes and songs: 

  • Grace Banks Aberdeen (AB24): Scots song
  • Averil Blackhall Tarland (AB35): fiddle
  • Carola MacCallum Dunecht (AB32): clarsach
  • Pete MacCallum Dunecht (AB32): guitar
