“Thanks to Scrapers
& Tooters I am now playing trumpet for Edinburgh Symphony Orchestra,
Peebles Orchestra, Falkirk Tryst Orchestra and will be 1st Offstage
Trumpet with the Scottish Symphonia in Mahler's Eighth Symphony!”
“This is my third
year of Scrapers & Tooters and it just keeps getting better!
It's a wonderful idea and a wonderful experience. I'm just keeping
everything crossed that I get a place next year again!”
“Thank you for all
the fun and help but above all for letting us get a bit of understanding
of music we have never played before! I go with a head full
of new sounds and ideas!”
“Perfect for myself
coming back to music after a lengthy absence, has really whetted
the appetite!”
"Rekindled my love for playing"
