The Balmoral School is adapting to the times and going ‘virtual’ this summer, at the low cost of $275 per week. We are also offering a $25 discount to students for each additional piper you recommend to the session.
For students who have registered to attend one or both of our sessions, or who are thinking of doing so, please click the links below to see the many exciting topics to be covered and a schedule of our weekly events.

Course Schedule
Classes will be small, there will be lots of opportunities for one-on-one instruction, and more information sharing that is generally possible at a ‘live’ session. All session classes and evening events will be recorded for future viewing and available to all students. We’ll be offering special events, like virtual tours of bagpipe manufacturers and reed makers.
By now, many of us have had our fears and concerns about ‘virtual’ instruction in the medium of Zoom evaporate. But for those who wish it, professional piper Sean Regan, who will serve as our 2020 Zoom “Host,” will offer free instructional sessions on Zoom before the start of each week. Please, let us know if you plan to attend Sean’s Zoom tutorials before the session starts. We’ll send you information on accessing your tutorial.
Student equipment needed for each session:
- Your bagpipe and practice chanter
- A laptop or desktop computer with an internet connection ( iPhones/smartphones don’t work as well)
- A webcam or camera on your computer
- The Zoom app, downloadable for free at https://zoom.us/download
We will respond to your registration with an acknowledgement, questions about your piping history, skill level, preference for classes, the official final schedule, and the code & password for access to the school.
