Moray Music Centre

Moray Music Centre offers school aged children and young people from across Moray who play an orchestral or wind/brass band instrument an opportunity to participate in a regional ensemble. 

Participation in an ensemble not only develops a young musician’s instrumental playing, teamwork, and listening skills; but has a positive impact on mental health and develops personal and social skills. Moray Music Centre gives young musicians an opportunity to meet other like-minded children and young people from across Moray and to play with and learn from their peers.
