Tuition

The band offers excellent tuition for bagpipes and both snare and tenor drumming. The tutors are experienced, top grade competing pipers and drummers who are highly willing and capable to instruct players of all levels from beginners to advanced players.

Watsonia RSL Pipes and Drums are constantly looking to attract new members, particularly young beginners who are enthusiastic about learning and being a part of a successful band.  The band consists of players of varying ages and offers a friendly, safe and professional environment to all new comers.

Feel free to contact us for more information about the specific tutors currently involved with the band and learning fees.
