Calling all young Musicians! There is still time.

Are you a budding young musician, traditional or classical, instrumental or vocal - or do you know a young person that you admire for their skill in, and enthusiasm for music?

Oban Rotary Club would like to encourage participation in the Young Musician Competition 2026/27, but you need to act right away!!
Interest must be expressed by FRIDAY 19th June so that entry forms etc may be completed in good time. Our local heat for this Great Britain and Ireland national competition is taking place on Tuesday 23rd June at 7 pm at Oban High School.

If you are interested, please contact [email protected] or [email protected]

Class cancellation update:

- no whistle classes on June 6th

We have a tutor for all other dates!

We're sorry to have to cancel the following classes;

- no whistle classes on June 6th
- no chanter classes on 27th June

We did our best to find alternative tutors with availability and a PVG but couldn't find anyone suitable. We've emailed the relevant adults to advise them of this change.

This year the pipe band championship competition schedule has been brought forward and unfortunately clashes with our weekend classes.

🍀 Our tutors are all active musicians and we wish them well in the competition season. We benefit from their competition experience as it all gets passed on to the young musicians.
