Since we started in 2002 this has always been our guiding light. The Distil Scratch band has come about in order to give musicians at shot at trying to write shorter ideas that are not necessarily a whole piece (although it could be) or they maybe looking for opportunities to write for a certain instrument.<\/p>\n<p>We want to help musicians gain the experience\u00a0to write out parts for these instruments. Musicians can\u00a0write a full 5 minute piece of music or it could be a simple idea that you want to try. Dave Milligan is the\u00a0musical director and will be on hand to advise and help you on the day.<\/p>\n<p>Our first scratch band was based on <a title=\"Writing for drums tutorial\" href=\"http:\/\/projects.handsupfortrad.scot\/distil\/writing-for-drums-tutorial\/\">writing for drums<\/a>.
