The California Summer School of Piping offers intensive instruction by four Scottish professional pipers and one talented American piper, in the playing and maintenance of the Great Highland Bagpipe.

The school is open to all ages and to pipers of all levels of skill from beginners to competition players. Each student is placed in a class of 8 to 10 students within their level of experience and skill.

Emphasis is placed on marches, strathspeys, airs, reels, jigs and hornpipes. Optional classes are offered in the afternoon, such as piobaireachd, reedmaking, pipe band techniques, and bagpipe maintenance.

Nightly lectures and recitals are offered by the instructors demonstrating prize-winning piping and presenting some interesting history about bagpipes and piping.
