A HIGH QUALITY music education and social change program is planned for next spring.
Big Noise, from Sistema Scotland, will start the program in Wester Hailes, Edinburgh, working first with children P1 and P2, then expand to cover children from Kindergarten through P3.
The program combines a symphony orchestra with the community and helps children and young people develop life skills such as confidence and creativity.
Big Noise musicians such as Elizabeth McColl teach children a range of instruments.
