Tutors to deliver the 2009 workshop
This year's workshop teaching will be a combined effort between world class Australian tutors (including members of the World Champion Victoria Police Pipe Band) and four internationally respected tutors. This year’s international tutors are Tyler Fry (tenor drum), Jori Chisholm (piper), James Laughlin (side drummer) and Richard Hawke (piper). They will teach throughout the workshop and also perform the recital at the Friday night concert.
