About the Organisation
The Northern Ireland Piping and Drumming School has been established since 1979 when it was an education project within the Royal Scottish Pipe Band Association but was made semi-autonomous in 1984 with its own constitution under its Director Sam Bailie.
The school became a Company Limited by Guarantee with Charitable Status in 2010 with its own Board of Directors and Trustees.
The school has been funded by the Arts Council for Northern Ireland for 45 years.
The Northern Ireland Piping and Drumming School currently operates in three locations: Lisburn, Dungannon, and Enniskillen.
We also teach in primary schools and in schools for special educational needs.
The school has an online teaching facility through Google Workspace, which has lessons and digital books for online learning.
During this time, the school has developed a program of instruction through eight sequential and progressive grades for the Theory of Music and Practical playing in Piping and Drumming, with many students attaining music to GCSE standards and with some students taking further education with London College of Music and beyond.
In its 45 years of existence, the school has tutored over 4,000 students, some going on to achieve World recognition as performers and teachers.
The school teaches on Saturday mornings in two centres, Laurelhill Community College in Lisburn and Devenish College in Enniskillen, and also has classes in Ranfurly House in Dungannon on a Wednesday evening. The school has an outreach program which teaches in primary schools as well as schools with special educational needs. The school has an online teaching platform using Google Workspace which contains both video and audio music lessons as well.
