The Outside Track Summer School

THE OUTSIDE TRACK SUMMER SCHOOL offers a week of tuition, concerts, ceilidhs and craic in the Scottish Highlands, hosted by The Outside Track.

Participants will receive group and individual tuition in their chosen instrument (harp, fiddle, accordion, flute/whistle and guitar), plus enjoy group singing and stepdance workshops. By keeping the numbers very low – only max 6 participants per tutor, individual needs can be attended to, and personal focus given.

Teaching will be a combination of tradition and technique tailored to suit the participant level, with time to address both technical issues such as improving dexterity, left hand coordination, etc, alongside traditional elements - ornamentation, tempos, rhythm, and of course, lots of time to learn new tunes.

There will be intensive instrument classes every morning from 10am until 1pm. The afternoon will include classes in song, step dance  composition, group work as well as afternoon activities. In the evenings we will have informal sessions, a ceilidh, a student concert and a concert by The Outside Track.

Residents will have accommodation, full board and all tuition and evening activities at the Old Brewery included in the course price.Non residents will have all tuition and evening activities as well as lunch at the Old Brewery included.
