Help build a picture of youth music activity and shape the future of music in Scotland, with this 5-15 minute survey.

The survey is part of ‘What’s Going On Now?’, a national project about music education and youth music-making in Scotland, which takes into account all forms of provision and musical styles.

The work follows the 2002 research project 'What's Going On?', and will address some of the key challenges the sector has been up against since then.

The landscape has changed significantly in the last 15 years, and instrumental music provision in Scottish schools is in a more precarious situation than ever before.

Have your say about the importance of music in your area by completing the survey.

As a further incentive, Creative Scotland and the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland will be giving away £100 worth of Amazon Gift Vouchers to five lucky participants.
