Vermont Bellows Pipe and Fiddle School

Featuring Fin Moore, Sarah Hoy, Tim Cummings,and Nate Banton and one more instructor TBA

July 30 - August 3, 2012 Huntington, Vermont

The Vermont Bellows Pipe School now includes Scottish fiddle, step dance and whistle instruction!

Now in its 22nd year, our school celebrates the step dance music traditions of Scotland as played on Scottish small pipes, border pipes, fiddle and whistles. Musicality and rhythm are our focus, as opposed to technicality and ornamentation (although these are not ignored entirely).

The school is in a new location for the second year year: in Huntington Vermont, about 7 miles south of the former location. Those who have come in the past can expect the same communal, family style accommodations. New students can expect a warm welcome.

This year, we welcome back instructors Tim Cummings, Fin Moore and Sarah Hoy

We have added reed making and pipe maintenance workshops with Pipemaker Nate Banton.
