The Pipe Band Chanter Club introduces children to playing the chanter with a view to them progressing to the bagpipes after approx 3-4 years playing. There are lots of opportunities for performance in competitions, fairs and concerts once pupils are playing the pipes with the Boroughmuir Pipe Band.
Club email: chanter-club@sm-pc.org
Tutors Names: Gordon Campbell and Barry Donaldson
Allocation of spaces: New pupils are invited to contact the Club Convenor who will provide a Club Registration form and information on appropriate class vacancies. Priority is given to existing club members allowing members to build on their knowledge.
Club Convenor’s children are always given a priority place in the club. Please contact the Club Convenor should you wish to take advantage of this privilege by offering to take on this position in future.
A child’s space is not guaranteed until payment is received. All payment is due PRIOR to clubs starting. Failure to do so could result in your child not being admitted in to the club.
Parent Volunteers required: NO
Refunds: Very occasionally classes need to be cancelled (e.g. instructor sickness). SMPC policy is that refunds will only be given in exceptional circumstances at the individual club’s discretion as offering refunds when this happens involves a lot of work for relatively small amounts of money. If, after accepting & paying for a place, your child subsequently does not take the place / drops out / changes their mind, a refund will not be given.
Parents are kindly reminded that PC Clubs only operate thanks to a school parent who volunteers to act as Club Convenor & run the administrative side of the club. Parents are requested to respect the efforts of each Club Convenor.
