NPU provides a range of regular tuition programmes. Weekly classes take place at our headquarters on Henrietta Street, Dublin and in a variety of locations across Ireland.
Working with a number of partnership organisations, chiefly Music Generation, NPU offers piping tuition delivered by experienced piping teachers. Our website also offers a range of online piping tutorials for piping students who are unable to access regular in-person tuition. NPU teacher development training is delivered to younger pipers who plan to teach the pipes, providing information, advice and mentoring from successful, experienced piping teachers.
For more information on times, locations and to register for classes, contact us at info@pipers.ie or +353 (0)1 8730093.
