Learn to play

Have you always wanted to play the bagpipes or the Scottish drums?

We welcome anyone who is interested in joining us either on one of our drums (Snare, Tenor or Bass), or the Bagpipes. There is no experience needed to join the band, only a love for music.

Interested in learning the pipes or drums but not ready to commit to a full set of gear? No problem! You can begin your journey with affordable practice equipment. Practice chanters for piping and drum pads with sticks for drumming are often available for under $100.

​

Most new pipers spend 6 to 12 months learning on the practice chanter before transitioning to a full set of bagpipes. The timeline can vary based on individual musical background and dedication, but this approach helps build a strong foundation from the start.

Pipe bands consist of just four different instruments:

bagpipes, snare drums, tenor drums, and bass drums.

Our band is currently seeking additional members for all instruments. Whether you are a brand new beginner, a lapsed piper or drummer looking to get back into it, or a proficient musician seeking a band to join, we would love to hear from you!
