Practising and Composing - 2 Films From St Mary's Music School in Edinburgh


We were invited to St Mary's Music School in Edinburgh to produce 4 short films about the talented students, practicing their instruments and composing new music. Here are 2 of those films.

Four pupils describe what music means to them and how passionate they feel about their daily practising, leading up to live performance.

"It is not only your fingers that should know your pieces."
