“Having fun with Scottish Music”

April Gathering

Join us April 16. for a workshop with Pam Weeks. Following our potluck tea (and coffee) break, we welcome everyone to stay for more Scottish music fun as we play some of our concerts sets to polish up for our Portsmouth concert on May 13.

In Memoriam

Sadly, we’ve lost another longtime member of our Scottish music family. Marilyn Goodrich left us after fighting the good fight against several health challenges. A stalwart member of the “Plunkies,” she was involved in our organization for many more years than most of us who presently play with the group. Marilyn will be sorely missed.

Bass Hall a resounding success!

Our concert was so successful we’ve already been asked to return next year.

Find your comfort zone. Then leave it!

Our president, Anne Baier, shares her thoughts on what happens when you leave your comfort zone.

Portsmouth Concert Coming Up on May 13

If you are planning to play in the Portsmouth Library concert keep an eye out for an email from Anne. She’ll be asking what dates will work for you to attend a couple rehearsals so we can be sharp for our performance. Once scheduled, they will be posted as a link on the website Home Page.

Scholarship Money (Still) Available

One scholarship has been awarded, but there is still money available for you to attend that music camp you’ve had your eye on for so many years. Qualified applicants will receive financial help with tuition costs for workshops, music camps, or private lessons. Scholarships are available regardless of income.

More information can be found on the Scholarship page (below). You must be a member to apply.

Website Problem?

Finally, know that our new website is maintained by a committee of five volunteers. We don’t always get it right. If you see something that needs attention, please shoot us an email at nhscottishmusic@gmail.com and we’ll got on it as soon as possible.
