The Ottawa City Piping College
​

​The Sons of Scotland Pipe Band are pleased to be affiliated with the Ottawa City Piping College which supports its mandate to teach and train musicians in both piping and drumming in our region. Our curriculum follows the course of the prestigious College of Piping in Glasgow, Scotland, and our  accredited examiners follow their teaching guidelines.  We have one Ottawa based teacher and one in Montreal, Quebec who can assist you with your lessons.

For information on lessons, please email school Director Bethany Bisaillion at bethany.bagpipes@sympatico.ca  for times, costs and locations in Ottawa and information on the school in Montreal.  All new members are asked to have a basic knowledge of exercises, tunes, and have taken a session of admission with one of the band's officers.
For more information on the National Piping Centre in Glasgow and their exam syllabus, visit www.thepipingcentre.co.uk

​The OCPC is proud to support the beginner program of the Sons of Scotland Pipe Band.
