PIPING TUITION MODULES
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 are in the form of a pdf e-book with linked sound files (either in bmw or studio-recorded piping files) and are sent by email (except the Piobaireachd module which is sent by air mail).

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.
