\"\"If you love Scottish trad music, are under 27 (and older than 16) you should consider entering the BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician Award<\/a>. Entering the competition is a process. It makes you think about your repertoire and how you want to be perceived. It is an exercise in setting yourself a goal. A\u00a0goal to achieve making 3 tracks (tunes or songs), an opportunity to listen to yourself and make any\u00a0improvements needed.<\/p>\n

As musicians we don\u2019t do this too often and sometimes the first opportunity we have to listen to ourself is when we record an album. At this stage it is often too late to make any desired changes to our technique. This shouldn\u2019t be a scary process \u2013 it should be fun! If we have\u00a0decided that music is going to be our career or we just want to keep improving this is something we should all do regularly. Emma Tomlinson from the Routes String Quartet\u00a0wrote a great check list for proper practice<\/a>\u00a0for Hands Up for Trad that features a great technique to getting better.<\/p>\n

So \u2013 go for it! Enter the Young Trad Award \u2013 it\u2019s not just\u00a0about getting through to the semi-finals \u2013 it\u2019s about personal development. You won\u2019t look back!<\/p>\n
