One-off woodwind ensemble workshops in Perthshire, specifically intended for adult learners or rusty 'returners' on flute, oboe, clarinet or bassoon. Our programme
includes saxophone workshops and light-hearted 'play-along' events that give late-starter brass or bowed string players access to the Blow & Blast experience too.
Each workshop is a free-standing event, with no pressure to commit to regular attendance, and it popular with those commitments prevent them from participating in a community band or orchestra.

Workshop Bookings and Prices
To reserve a place for any of the standard Birnam, Bridge of Allan, Callander or Crieff workshops, please contact us, giving details of your instrument and experience/ability level (our e-mail address is at the foot of the page). At present, we are happy to accept payment on the day for standard sight-reading workshops. If you would prefer to avoid handling cash, we can e-mail out BACS details or a payment link on request.
Places are limited, so please book early to avoid disappointment. This also allows more time to plan music to suit each player’s capabilities.
If, after booking, you find you will be unable to attend, please let us know as soon as possible as this may mean we have to re-think the music for the workshop. Also, there may be players on a waiting list who would love to be given the chance to take part.

Birnam Arts has been host to great memories and moments, from dancing my heart out at weddings to speaking at conferences to enjoying wonderful music ... this place does it all and is an important hub. We look forward to the time we can enjoy BA to its full once again.

Welcome to Birnam Arts, a boutique multi-purpose arts, conferencing and entertainment venue.
Pop in to the Foyer Cafe for breakfast, grab a delicious coffee with a selection of our homemade baking or enjoy a light lunch whilst browsing on the free WiFi. Wander upstairs to view the latest of our monthly art exhibitions before visiting the world of Beatrix Potter, or the Gift Shop to purchase a special gift for your loved ones or yourself!
We had not planned to present a hybrid festival, however that changed when one of our main authors tested positive for Covid. I greatly appreciated how the team worked with us to pivot and present remotely in part, making full use of your enhanced video conferencing equipment. As a result, we were able to deliver quite complex events with several elements all showing on screen simultaneously. The audio-visual quality was excellent, and our audiences were delighted that these events could still go ahead, in spite of Covid. The author in question was really pleased that he could join us on screen and remarked that he had not been so well supported in this way at any other festival.
