The College of Piping and Celtic Performing Arts Centre

Great music lovely storytelling

What a great experience to learn what is taught at a Piping school and the parts of a bag pipe. The newer, attached auditorium is well suited for concerts and competitions. Most topics were covered except for the “straight face” vs smiling of the performers.

Went to the mini teaser show and had a great up-close and personal info session/show with some of the students/performers. Then found out about the Highland Storm show the next evening...bought tickets...and were not disappointed! Wonderful story told and fabulous performances all around!

Went to see Great Scots what a wonderful experience very talented bunch of islanders. Loved it 11 stars

I am a snare drummer at the college, and the experience is really one of a kind. I now have two jobs now because of my commitment. They are both at the college. The college is currently teaming up with the National Piping Center in Glasgow, Scotland. This is also the only place that teaches bag piping, Scottish snare drumming, highland dancing and step dancing year round in north America. It is also a unique facility because in 2004, Doug and Debbie Hall really liked what the college had to offer. They didn't want to just donate twenty dollars, so they paid for all lessons for people under 18 who want to take snare or bagpipe lessons.
