The RSNO's innovative education programme strives to inspire and engage people from all walks of life in the enjoyment of classical music. RSNO players spend much of their time away from the concert platform presenting events in schools and community venues throughout the country.

We introduce new ways of participating in music through many different approaches and specially planned projects - watching the rehearsal process, participating in masterclasses, enjoying specially devised concerts for children and 'first-time' adults or having fun composing your own music.

Many of the projects we run complement the RSNO Season, enabling people of all ages and abilities to make and experience music alongside players from Scotland's national orchestra. We are building long-lasting and healthy partnerships with local authorities, charitable trusts and commercial sponsors, leading to innovative work with schools, hospitals, business partnerships, prisons, and community groups.

The musicians you see on the concert platform are the same players who are out encouraging classical music all over Scotland. This is a true alliance between the Artist and Education where both aspects are delivered as a whole.

 

Why does the RSNO have an Education Programme?

 

  • To promote the enjoyment and understanding of live classical music, to as wide an audience as possible, irrespective of age or ability.
  • To make the performance of live music and concert-going accessible.
  • To introduce more people to, and increase the audience for live music.
  • To take the work of the RSNO and its players to areas of Scotland not normally served by the Orchestra's concert programme.
  • To develop a bond between the people of Scotland and the RSNO.
  • Maintain a high level of motivation for members of the RSNO and to encourage development of their skills.
