“This school was how I learned to be a good bagpiper. The instructors are world class.
And the administrators are the best (professional, kind, and fun!”

“Wonderful time, as always! Where else can you walk into
a teacher’s room at midnight and get help with a tune?”

“This is a great school for ALL pipers and drummers. From beginner
to advanced you will have a great time and learning experience.”

“The Balmoral Schools are run the way piping schools should be run.”
Iain McLellan, Pipe Major of the 12-time world champion Strathclyde Police Pipe Band

“I had a great experience at the 2015 Pittsburgh school! The instructors, classes and
workshops were top notch. Can’t wait to attend again this summer!”

“The instructors are experts in their field and help to produce rapid results and focused instruction.”
Craig Copeland, Kentucky session

“My teenage son had a wonderful week, learned 15 new tunes, made new friends,
learned from fabulous instructors and wants to go back.”

“They pushed us in small bites, challenging but not out of reach — truly understanding.”
Mike Bench, California session

“The Balmoral Classic helped to promote Pittsburgh’s place in the piping world,
while entertaining pipers and non-pipers alike.”

“Other pipers in our band went to other schools that had much larger classes and they did not receive
anything to compare to the small focused sessions at Balmoral. Being an older player I don’t have
time to waste.”
David Hopper, Illinois Session
