Smallpipes Program

Winter School is an opportunity to learn tunes from some of the best players and the most inspiring instructors of Celtic music, spending time in community with fellow musicians and music appreciators, and just have fun!

The smallpipes program is run concurrently with the Scottish fiddle/melody and guitar/accompaniment programs, giving players of all instruments a chance to learn from each other and to play together.

Smallpipes classes will be split into three levels based on speed of learning and experience. This program is not ideal for complete beginners. Your group will have a chance to learn from three different instructors each day.

Students arrive on Saturday morning, February 7th, after breakfast. The schedule will include group classes each day, sessions, evening ceilidhs, and a few fun extras. Attendees will also have the opportunity to learn from our fiddle instructors, attend the instructor concert, have the option to be part of our no-stress participant performance night, and more! Classes end on Wednesday, February 11th at noon. Students may wish to purchase a ticket to the Masters of Scottish Arts concert in Edmonds on Friday, February 6th.
