City of Adelaide Pipe Band

Learn to play Bagpipes and Drums | Adelaide

Gracenotes Academy of Piping and Drumming

The City of Adelaide Pipe Band offers musical tuition to young people (school age) who would like to join the band. Tuition is available for bagpipes, snare drum, tenor drum and bass drum.

The City of Adelaide Pipe Band operates the Gracenotes Academy of Piping and Drumming to ensure that each student receives thorough tuition of the highest standard, where proper technique and methods are a focus. Each of the band's tutors is either a current, or former City of Adelaide Pipe Band contest piper or drummer.

For a pipe band to flourish a steady stream of learners is needed. Because of this, the band treats the teaching of beginners with the highest level of importance.

As learners progress through the Academy's structured learning program, they have the opportunity to perform with the band, to further develop their band craft, before progressing to the senior band.

Gracenotes Academy of Piping and Drumming classes are held at Payneham RSL, 360 Payneham Road, Payneham on Monday evenings.

For further information, please contact the band Secretary.
