Drake Music Scotland

Drake Music Scotland use digital technology to make it possible for people with disabilities of all ages and abilities to play, learn, compose and perform music.

Using a combination of movement sensors, touch-sensitive surfaces, tactile instruments, and a wide variety of music apps including their own Figurenotes software Drake Music Scotland provide the best means of controlling musical sounds for participants.

Participants are supported to develop musical and creative skills, study music and music technology, and follow a career in the industry.   The public are helped to understand that disabled people can be musicians too and contribute to musical and cultural life at all levels, from their local school or community to performing at national events – and even join Drake Music Scotland’s flagship ensemble the Digital Orchestra!
