> YOUTH PIPING SCHOOLS
Christmas 2010 saw the end of a long period of Aberdeenshire Council YMI investment in our schools’ project. Having been successful with an external Creative Scotland YMI funding bid we are now taking the tuition forward on a flexible after-school basis using the academy and nearby CSN. This will allow us to continue the excellent work we have built up over the past three years in Huntly and Aboyne.
The new Youth Piping Schools are now seen as tuition hubs open to anyone who can travel to a lesson. We are also delighted to offer support for soloists, pipe bands (see our support for pipe bands link) and anyone interested developing their skills. As an added incentive we are offering beginners 4 x free lessons on the practice chanter, the workhorse behind our national instrument.
