With music provided by SSA tutors, you can take part in large sax ensembles, quartets, trios, and workshops. Playing sessions run throughout the day and into the evening with plenty of breaks for meals, walks, and impromptu scratch band rehearsals! Expect technique tips, innovative arrangements and free goodies, all delivered in a relaxed and fun atmosphere.

The Burn is situated at the foot of Glenesk, one of Scotland’s most scenic glens, approximately 1 mile (2km) north of the village of Edzell and 6 miles (10km) north of the town of Brechin, and the River North Esk forms the western boundary of the site. Surprisingly close to major towns and cities, but still removed and serene in its own estate, The Burn is uniquely positioned in Scotland and affords visitors a peaceful environment and the chance to reflect and relax. With its warm hospitality, excellent catering and relaxing environment, The Burn offers a home from home in the Scottish Highlands.

Some feedback from our previous courses at The Burn...

"The weekend was packed with information and I’ve got a list of things to think about, try out, practise, research. Loads to apply to my playing."

"As a first timer this was a simply brilliant opportunity for me to join in. I can't thank you enough for the highest quality teaching, your encouragement & the wonderful musical arrangements we played. The whole experience will last with me for a long time."

"The weekend format was a real winner - a good balance of instruction / have a bash by yourselves"
