Fast‑Track Your Piping Journey – One Week, 18 Months’ Progress!

Most pipers take a 30-minute lessons once a week, for 40 weeks per year—that’s 20 hours of instruction annually.

At Pipes in Paradise, we do things differently:
We compress 18 months’ worth of consistent lessons into a single week. That’s the equivalent of 6 hours a day × 5 day = 30 hours of tailored tuition, delivered by three exceptional tutors, each bringing years of proven experience.
