RSPBA Structured Learning Books

The Royal Scottish Pipe Band Association has made their Structured Learning Books available free of charge on the RSPBA website. These books have been the foundation of the RSPBA education program for many years and are used by individuals and organisations all over the world as the basis for piping and drumming. There are three Structured Learning Books which previously supported and encouraged learners to go forward to sit examinations leading to The Elementary Certificate, The Intermediate Certificate and The Advanced Certificate. Although these exams are no longer in existence, the curriculum within these books forms the basis of the current syllabus for the SQA Units in Piping and Drumming offered by the Piping and Drumming Qualifications Board.

• Book 1 – Elementary
• Book 2 – Intermediate
• Book 3 – Advanced
