Such an amazing experience for younger musicians in Edinburgh. Music is alive in the city!

On Friday morning we had an inspirational musical workshop with @lucy_drever & @CalumHuggan that really tested our percussion and composing skills. We can't wait to see everything come together on Sunday! Thank you Lucy and Calum for such a fun and stimulating session. #Inspired
