Get Creative is a creative music making programme for young people in North East Scotland aged between 8-18 years run by sound in Aberdeen.
Get Creative offers performance and composition workshops throughout the year giving young people the opportunity to gain skills, experiences and a wider understanding of creative music making with professional composers and musicians.
Current opportunities
Creative Orchestra for instrumentalists in primary school aged 8-11
Children can be of any standard.
Please note that the suggested ages are only a guideline - we encourage participants to attend the group that would be most beneficial to them at this point in their creative development, regardless of age.
Sonic Stroll
Join us for a fun and exploratory session as we wander through Union Terrace Gardens, tuning in to the sounds of the city. From rustling leaves to city echoes, we’ll gather inspiration from the environment around us. In May, the group will transform these discovered sounds into an original piece of music to be featured at the Light the Blue Festival Family Arts Day. If the weather doesn’t cooperate, don’t worry, we’ll have a backup plan ready so the creativity can continue.
Meet at the entrance of Aberdeen Art Gallery before setting off together on the soundwalk.
19th April 2026 2pm-3.45pm | Meet at the entrance of Aberdeen Art Gallery

“The teachers, performers and others students have been an incredible support and the atmosphere has always been uplifting.”
“It’s inspiring to me; it taught me that there’s no right or wrong answer, it’s just you and your music.”
“[I] gained a better understanding of what some instruments are good at and the styles they play.”
Get Creative is generously supported by Creative Scotland, the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, Aberdeen City Council, David and June Gordon Memorial Trust, Educational Institute of Scotland, Aberdeen Endowments Trust and Hugh Fraser Foundation.
