HYM\u00a0musicians come from all over Highland and the groups are an ideal opportunity\u00a0for members\u00a0to make friends beyond their local areas whilst enabling musical experiences of the highest standards.<\/p>\n

MEMBERSHIP REQUIREMENTS<\/p>\n

All players \/ singers should be approaching or above Grade 4 AB\/Trinity standard at the time of application, or should have suitable experience.\u00a0 Applicants who are working towards the appropriate standards and aim to achieve this by September of the application year are more than welcome to audition.<\/p>\n

Where there are an excessive amount of applicants for any particular instrument\/group, priority may be given to players who have shown commitment and gained experience in a school or Area group run by Highland Council Music Instructors.\u00a0 This will not be to the detriment of those for whom Highland geography means that such a group can\u2019t be accessed.<\/p>\n

REHEARSALS & PERFORMANCES<\/p>\n

Highland Young Musicians meet for intensive rehearsal days rather than weekly practices.\u00a0 There are\u00a04 Saturday rehearsals before the Concerts Festival in the Macdonald Aviemore Resort (with all members staying over).\u00a0 All we ask is that members commit to the few dates on the calendar, making the most of the musical and social opportunities to extend experiences and have fun!<\/p>\n

MEMBERSHIP COSTS<\/p>\n

There are two levels of membership as follows:<\/p>\n

SILVER: \u00a3240 \u2013 1x\u00a3240 or 4x\u00a360<\/p>\n

This includes\u00a04 x Saturday rehearsals + Concert Festival (with Aviemore Resort b&b accommodation)<\/p>\n

BRONZE: \u00a3200 \u2013 1x\u00a3200 or 4x\u00a350<\/p>\n

This includes\u00a04 x Saturday rehearsals + Concert Festival (no accommodation) (most appropriate for those from around the Aviemore area)<\/p>\n

Successful members from outlying areas are welcome to make their own accommodation arrangements with family\/friends if appropriate.<\/p>\n

HYM groups are all about inclusion and applicants should not be put off\u00a0considering membership\u00a0because they think they may not be able to afford the costs. Please contact HLH Music Development Officer via hym@highlifehighland.com if this\u00a0needs further discussion.\u00a0 Funding applications\u00a0can also be made to The Agar Trust www.agar-trust.org.uk<\/p>\n

TRANSPORT & ACCOMMODATION<\/p>\n

Highland Young Musicians provides free transport to and from rehearsal days from Wick\/Thurso (collecting at various places en-route south); Fort William; Skye & Plockton; Kingussie & Grantown; Ullapool.\u00a0 Transport provision is subject to change depending on the numbers of members from each area.<\/p>\n

\u2018Silver\u2019 members are provided with supervised accommodation at the Aviemore Concerts Festival (all members are encouraged to stay at this weekend).<\/p>\n
