The aim is to provide musical opportunities for young people of all ages across the Strath, at levels appropriate to their abilities and interests. Fèis Spè ran a pilot Ceilidh Trail, with tuition and rehearsals for a group of young people who gave performances at various venues throughout the Strath between December 2003 and December 2004. The project will provide part time employment opportunities for two local tutors working with the band and additional short contracts for visiting tutors.

To create a local demand for local professional musicians

The first two phases of the project will run between September 2005 and March 2007
