Music training in Scotland
1 Answers
Someone has asked me whether his 18 year old daughter might be able to train on the piano in Scotland. The main emphasis would probably be on including the music but perhaps as a part of a more general education (she is apparently quite good at maths), say a college. I have no real idea of her proficiency and I don't believe the aim is for somewhere like the Royal College in Glasgow but rather something more modest as a start. Does anyone know if there is anywhere in Scotland that offers/provides something remotely like this ?

Generally, you need at least Grade 8 (ABRSM) in your main instrument in order to gain entry to a music degree course. This is in addition to the statutory requirements (A Levels/Highers etc). Students are usually also asked to study a second instrument.
If the lass has less than this, then she might want to think about studying for the appopriate grades as a preparatory thing. The Open University offers a Diploma in Music, which involves two years' worth of part-time study, mainly to do with theory, history and analysis of music. The points gained can be offset against study at other British universities.
