Drummond High School

Work at the school began with a consultancy to purchase music technology equipment. After school classes began with S5 students in spring 2003. Classes became part of The City of Edinburgh's O.O.S.H.L.A. initiative. The Out Of School Hours Activities were supplemented with extra classes, working with S3 students. This focused on music production, arranging and constructs within musical composition. All songs have been recorded to Compact Disk. Several school concerts resulted in S3 students performing original material composed during these sessions.

Funding was secured from PRS Foundation and The City of Edinburgh Council among others, building on the success of the sessions. Plans for the future include an in-house record label. Our aim was to give students a flavour of the music industry through hands-on 'real life' scenarios. The last project began in August 2004, and was scheduled through until a label launch in July 2005.
