From Drake Music Scotland:

Drake Music Scotland are looking to expand our Freelance Musician team in Aberdeenshire. Each year through the Youth Music Initiative from Creative Scotland, Aberdeenshire Council ask Drake Music Scotland to deliver a large programme of delivery across Additional Support Needs schools and Units across Aberdeenshire.

We are looking to specifically recruit one musician to deliver work in the 2025-26 academic year in the Aboyne and Alford areas, however this may expand to other areas within Aberdeenshire in future years.

We are looking for musicians who have already had experience in a variety of music education settings, and ideally working with disabled young people or with additional support needs and can point us to your relevant professional or voluntary experience in music education.

You will be required to deliver face to face workshop sessions and in some cases 1:1 sessions as part of the two projects.

Our new musician will receive an intensive 2 day training with the Drake Music Scotland team in Edinburgh prior to working in Aberdeenshire. They will also be asked to complete an online Child Protection course, and are required to have a PVG covering both children and adults before the projects begin.
