Our
Journey
The story started over 20 years ago when brothers Alan and Brian Kerr founded the North Ayrshire Young Musician Competition. Going forward, it flourished under the stewardship of Mae Murray and over 20,000 young musicians have enjoyed taking part.
The
MUSIC EDUCATION PARTNERSHIP GROUP
The Music Education Partnership Group (MEPG) oversees the running of the Scottish Young Musicians Competitions.
MEPG is a registered charity and members organisation which brings together stakeholders in music and education across Scotland. It aims to tackle inequity, help young people to realise their potential and challenge perceptions of music education.
For further information on The Music Education Partnership Group please visit our website www.wemakemusicscotland.org
I'm excited to see Scottish Young Musicians flourish and expand. It will be an immense help and encouragement for the aspirations of thousands of young Scottish musicians. As they say, it's not the winning that counts - it's the taking part and learning a lot about oneself as a developing musician, being able to contrast and compare one's progress with one's young colleagues.
