Description: You DO NOT need to be Scottish to participate! Instruction in bagpipes and snare and tenor/bass drums is based on Scotland's Piping and Drumming Qualifications Board guidelines and on the long experience of the teaching staff in this unique music style. Student who take Beginner Bagpipes or Drums, learn on a practice chanter if learning the bagpipes or the practice pad if learning the drums. Students learn to read music, grace note groups, basic music theory, and a number of exercises and tunes. As well, students are exposed to what the Conservatory Pipe Band does - they get to meet and interact with the band members, engage in common activities and learn about the band before they start to play in it.

Once students pass the beginner stage, they will join the Conservatory Pipe Band, which has Saskatchewan's most experienced pipe band musicians as instructors and is the only youth pipe band in Regina!
