At each of THE PIPING SCHOOL workshops participants are given a complimentary CD ROM which covers most of the material which has been taught at that workshop.

They are in the form of a pdf e-book with linked sound files (either in bmw or studio-recorded piping files).

These modules are comprehensive documents covering each subject in great detail and provide invaluable learning aids which can be studied and re-studied over a long period of time.

They have proven extremely popular with our many piping students.

Now, these modules are also available as either DIGITAL files or on a special individual CD ROM which can be sent by email or post - and you can pick your own topics.
