Finlay MacDonald appointed as Head of Piping Studies for BA (Scottish Music-Piping) Degree
Finlay MacDonald has been appointed as the new Head of Piping Studies for the BA(Scottish Music -Piping ) Degree program. Finlay replaces Simon Mckerrell who is credited with leaving the course in a very strong position. Finlay is an instructor at the National Piping Centre and himself a graduate of the very first BA Scottish Music degree course back in 1996. The piping degree has been a huge success and grown immensely through out the years. We wish Finlay all the best in his new position.
