Scottish Smallpipes and Borderpipe Workshop in Vermont!!!

Back by popular demand… The workshop dates will be Feb 27-28. The weekend will take place in
the beautiful village of Marshfield, VT. Saturday and Sunday will be full teaching days (10am-noon, and 1-5) 12 hours of instruction over the course of the weekend. All music scores, and reed making materials will be provided. Additionally, an evening ceilidh will be included on Saturday night. The instructors for the weekend will be Iain MacHarg and Dan Houghton.

All playing levels are welcome. Students are welcome to bring a sleeping bag and stay here at the house. The cost of the weekend is $50 per day, or $100 for the whole weekend. Tell folks you know to help spread the word. Stop random people in the street and tell them too…

Please let us know if you’d like to reserve a spot. Last year we filled all our spots.
