Musicares is the first national music mentoring project for care-experienced young people in Scotland. As such one of our aims is to remove barriers to participation🙌

Over the last year or so our friends at Ableton have very kindly gifted access to software and hardware that has enabled our participants to really explore their creativity! Since we have been using Ableton since 2002 you can see how much we love it here!🎹💻

Here at Musicares we frequently see the confidence of young people grow as they participate in music-making! 🤩🤩 This quote has come from a parent/guardian of a young participant - happy 🥳

Musicares run multiple sessions a week and want to give our participants the experience of being in a professional rehearsal studio. We are delighted to partner with Pirate Studios Glasgow and Pirate Studios Edinburgh! 🏴‍☠️🎙🎧
