Army School of Bagpipe Music and Highland Drumming

The Army School of Bagpipe Music and Highland Drumming is a British Army training establishment that provides instruction on Scottish pipe band music to military pipers and drummers.

Generally regarded as the smallest unit in the British Army, the School is now commanded by a Director who is a qualified army Pipe Major and who usually holds the rank of Captain or Major (usually being commissioned from Warrant Officer rank on appointment).

The Director is assisted by a Chief Instructor, who is the Senior Pipe Major of the British Army.

It has in the past provided instruction to various police band members, but this has not taken place for a number of years.

Together, the Institute sets a standardised piping certificate programme for students from around the world.
