Add your music to the NTS database

Since the 1990s there has been a significant increase in the creation of larger-scale and innovative compositions by traditional musicians in Scotland. The composers of these musical works experiment with forms beyond the common 32-bar dance tune, draw on a wide range of influences, and engage in opportunity-based professional development in this unique community of practice: the New Traditional School (Watson, 2013). I am mapping the compositions of the New Traditional School in a database and planning for the first national collection/archive of beyond-tune compositions. Our current criteria for a ‘beyond-tune’ composition are listed below. If your music can be described this way, please register your compositions here or get in touch for further information.
