The 2012 syllabus is available on request and from
Concorde Music Shop in Scott Street, Perth, free of charge.

Where possible, we have included links to the relevant pages of the Musicroom website, in order to facilitate music purchases.
If you access Musicroom through our website, you will help our festival to earn commission without it costing you a penny more. 
Teachers may find it helpful to give pupils the address of the syllabus page and tell them for which class or classes they need to purchase music.

New for 2012: we have totally revamped the layout of the syllabus, bringing all the traditional instrumental music to the front, after the Scottish Country Dancing, and introducing a new class for Ceilidh Bands.

We have also again slightly altered the Scottish Country Dance classes to make them even more accessible.

'Perform in Perth' will again sponsor two full bursaries for 2012 competitors to attend the 2012 European Youth Summer Music Course.
