MU2003 Bagpipes: History, Repertoire and Performance
In conjunction with The National Piping Centre.
This module is offered in both Semester 1 and Semester 2.
Weekly piping lessons are offered in St Andrews with pipers affiliated to and allocated by The National Piping Centre. There will be two study days in Glasgow and a three day weekend school in St Andrews. These will involve group tuition which focuses on widening repertoire and lectures which explore the socio-cultural history of piping in Scotland. This module is open to both beginners and experienced pipers, as the individual lessons are tailored to the ability of the student. The number of students that can be accomodated on this course is strictly limited so please email Jonathan Kemp jk50@st-andrews.ac.uk to check availablity.
Chanters, tutor books and textbooks for the course can be purchased from the Online Shop and collected from the music department administrative support office at 71 North Street.
