Love this film of the fantastic 15th birthday event @sistemascotland at Scottish Parliament this week. The wonderful young musicians from #BNDouglas featuring in this clip right at the front accompanied beautifully by all the other centres ❤️
Congratulations to these brilliant young musicians who worked so hard and played so well at Benedetti Sessions in Dundee last weekend. @DunningPS@benedetti_fdtn
These young musicians were fantastic last week after working so hard with the great team #BigNoiseDouglas A big thanks to the fantastic team @RSNO for encouraging them so much. Great to have the younger players at Big Noise getting the big gig! @sistemascotland
🤩 Our young superstars from #BigNoiseDouglas had a fantastic time @CairdHallDundee last night performing alongside the @RSNO 🎶
Experiences like these go a long way to help our children and young people with their self-belief and aspiration - thank you @RSNO 🙌
This is going to be fantastic on Thursday. The Big Noise children have worked so hard for this and we had a lovely visit from the RSNO players who gave advice and encouraged us all. @RSNO#BigNoiseDouglas
It was a pleasure to welcome BBC Radio 4 to our Bolton Benedetti Sessions last month as part of this new series focused on music education. Tune in at 11.30am (UK), or listen back to hear @NickyBenedetti & some of our Tutors discuss this important topic.

We are grateful to ministers, those councils that did stand by us, and all of our wonderful funders and the wider community who have sent us so many messages of support over the past weeks 🎶👇
So sad to have heard this news after listening to the community members from @BigNoiseDouglas and working with the wonderful team there. Looking forward to coming to Douglas next week and making some music with the young musicians and celebrating their achievements at this time.
We are heartbroken at the decision today by @DundeeCouncil to discontinue their funding of #BigNoiseDouglas and we are so proud of our 2 community members who spoke so passionately about the impact of #BigNoise at the budget meeting. More to follow.
I urge @DundeeCouncil councillors to keep their promise to the #BigNoise Douglas community and work with @sistemascotland to help create an inclusive society. Please invest in our children’s future. If you share my passion, sign the petition at https://t.co/M8OET8ve9s

@MusiciansYoung @NickyBenedetti@benedetti_fdtn Looking forward to meeting you all very soon. Thank you for all your preparation. We will have lots of fun.
🙌 Overjoyed to announce that 12 young musicians from #BigNoiseGovanhill & #BigNoiseRaploch will be embarking on a journey to India this month to take part in the 'Concert for Friendship', celebrating friendship through music and the bonds between our vibrant cultures 🇮🇳🏴🎶

"Music is such a powerful tool. It’s cross-curricular, it’s confidence-building, it’s sociable & it allows children to express themselves. That’s why it’s so important to have organisations like this getting out there into schools & communities!"👉https://t.co/EmSgzgx9bh
