02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
The GDMT is set up to make sponsorship awards to groups or individuals who apply for some assistance for education and teaching of playing Scottish Traditional music and to encourage the best musicians of this type of music by sponsoring top players in invitational contests. So from beginners to the top players we assist. We also encourage composition of Scottish Traditional music tunes and making these tunes available to others. This is mostly music for the Great Highland Bagpipe but also includes fiddlers and other musicians playing our wonderful music.
