SScOT has been running orchestral courses for 9 to 15 year olds since 1985. The courses complement the valuable musical experiences provided by schools, local authorities and instrumental teachers, and regularly attract about 90 participants from all over Scotland and beyond. With expert guidance - there are professional instrumental tutors offering specialist advice - participants enjoy and develop their experience of orchestral and wind band playing. A wide range of repertoire is played, over and above the music rehearsed for the concerts. 

There are no auditions, the aim being to challenge each child at a suitable level, and to build their motivation and enthusiasm.

The more advanced players qualify for the Symphony Orchestra and the less advanced Junior String Orchestra or the Wind Band. There is a Brass Ensemble, a Symphonic Wind Band and a String Orchestra which meet for several occasions during the week, and involve all players of the relevant instruments. The Grand Orchestra which includes all the participants of the couse also meets several times during the week. Arts, crafts and sporting techniques are supervised by specialist staff and there is a resident nurse.
