We support piping and drumming tuition in state schools, and encourage the development of schools pipe bands. SSPDT advocates that pupils in Scotland should have the same opportunities to learn the bagpipe and pipe band drums as other instruments. SSPDT also organises the Scottish Schools Pipe Band Championships.
