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.
