Lessons

***Changes for 2025/26 Online Lessons: After the past 4 years of scheduled online lessons, dougstronach.com is moving to a video-on-demand model for all future lessons. This will solve some issues we’ve had over the years and allow students to:

  • study at a day and time that suits them best
  • begin courses at any point of the year
  • repeat each lesson or section of a lesson indefinitely
  • work through each course at a pace that’s comfortable for them

There will also be an option for one-on-one lesson times for those studying in the courses which is something many have been asking for. These changes have come about as a result of suggestions made by students over the past few years and it’s hoped that the changes will encourage even more drummers to pursue development in pipe band drumming and keep this idiom alive and thriving for many years to come.

More detailed information about the courses will come out shortly but please note there will be no classes starting in October of this year. The plan is to slowly roll each course level out over the 2025/26 teaching season. Stay tuned to this website, Doug Stronach’s Facebook page or your email inbox where information on each of the courses will come out as it becomes available.
