We're sorry to have to cancel the following classes;

- no whistle classes on June 6th
- no chanter classes on 27th June

We did our best to find alternative tutors with availability and a PVG but couldn't find anyone suitable. We've emailed the relevant adults to advise them of this change.

This year the pipe band championship competition schedule has been brought forward and unfortunately clashes with our weekend classes.

🍀 Our tutors are all active musicians and we wish them well in the competition season. We benefit from their competition experience as it all gets passed on to the young musicians.

ORIGINAL POST HAS BEEN EDITED! We now have a tutor for whistle classes on Sat 30th May and chanter classes are on 20th June.
