Fun and inclusive community based piping clubs cater for complete beginners through to intermediate and advanced pipers aged 7-17!
Our Community Piping Clubs are taught at locations across Glasgow (Ibrox, Castlemilk & Pollokshields) and here at the National Piping Centre.
Our new Leith Piping Club (Edinburgh – Saturday) launches in January (2026).
Delivered by our expert Youth & Communities Tutors, we offer a supportive, inclusive and friendly space where young people can grow in confidence and skill.
Community Led
We believe passionately that piping and piping tuition should be accessible to all, regardless of background, location or socio-economic status
Our Community Piping Clubs bring engaging, fun and high-quality piping tuition to the heart of your community. We work in close-partnership with existing infrastructure and community leaders to develop a sustainable framework with a lasting impact.
