From the outset, the Fund has been offering training workshops and courses designed to enhance young people's knowledge and provide practical skills in specific areas of music.  

​

The first workshops the Fund organised was a programme of online workshops on songwriting, led by one of Scotland’s leading young song writers, Yvonne Lyon. The LCMF Songwriting Workshops with Yvonne Lyon were held over three weeks with a combination of group workshops and one-to-one sessions the tutor gave t5o each participant.

​

The first of the Fund's 'Setting the Stage' one-day workshops was organised in June 2023. This innovative event provided a unique opportunity for young people to get 'hands on experience of live event production (sound, lighting, stage crewing and event management). This ground-breaking training workshop brought together industry professionals at a "mock concert" with live bands sound-checking  in a real world, theatre setting.  The feedback from staff and trainees alike led to a immediate decision to repeat these workshops.
