Fantastic new offer for the FIRST 20 TO ENROL – Go to fees and offers page for full details.

We are once again delighted to announce that our annual Atlanta, Georgia Piping Summer School will be held in the fantastic facilities of Kennesaw State University.

We will have a daily program which will cover all aspects of performance including practice routines, technique, musical expression, tuning and ensemble playing. Students will be taught in a small group of similar ability for 3-4 hours per day with workshops, recitals and practice time built in. We will also have available at the school the opportunity to sit the PDQB exams which have now been accredited by the Scottish Qualifications Authority.

We welcome all levels of player but if you are a beginner we recommend that bring/ buy in advance a copy of The National Piping Centre’s Tutor Book, this can be done on-line from the National Piping Centre shop. We also encourage all students to bring recording equipment to classes although CD’s of all the tunes in the music book will be available to purchase. Drummers will work on scores given to them by them by our two top class snare and tenor drumming tutors.

This year the piping teachers are confirmed as Captain (Retired) Stuart D Samson MBE, Ex-Director of the Army School of Bagpipes, Glenn Brown, Gold Medal winner 2009 and Grade 1 playing pipe band member of Scottish Power, Callum Beaumont, three-time world pipe band champion and Silver Medal winner and John Mulhearn a successful solo piper and contemporary recording artist.

We are also pleased to announce that we have a fantastic range of student prizes for this school. Wallace Bagpipes have donated a £250 voucher for their products to be spent at The National Piping Centre Shop.
