This has been steadily eroded, over time, and this measure will be the nail in the coffin of equality of musical opportunity in this city, not to mention its formerly proud place as having a level of musical participation and excellence far above its size. Please don't do this if you care about music, about children or about Aberdeen. It's a thoroughly bad idea.

Young upcoming music students from both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland took part in this. and international artists performed. Music education is vital and it would be tragic and near-sighted if Aberdeen, where my grandchildren are growing up, did not have the advantage of learning music which is something which stays with you for a lifetime, either or both as a participant and a listener. It breaks down barriers and encourages the sharing of a life enhancing experience, and should not be just left to parents to arrange privately but should be a central pillar of education.
