Unit 2-3 course
TAS recently held a Unit 2-3 course in the Dunblane Centre, with candidates gathering from Dundee, Perth, Dunkeld, Bonnybridge, Glasgow, and Moffat. The tutor was Janet Johnston and the principal musician was Luke Brady, with input from David Oswald and Susan MacFadyen when Luke was unavailable.
All seven candidates sat and passed Unit 2. One group member had already passed her Unit 3 pre-Covid, but attended the course with the others as a refresher. Unfortunately one candidate had to withdraw due to family circumstances, but the five remaining saw the course through to a successful conclusion in early May.
We congratulate all the candidates and wish them well as they continue their training journey.
