Jim Thomson's United States School of Piping and Drumming

Jim Thomson's United States School of Piping and Drumming Come to the largest Ponderosa Pine forest in the world and study under these trees with some of the world’s foremost piping and drumming teachers.

Jim Thomson's United States School of Piping is dedicated to the memory of the school's founder, Jim "Seamus" Thomson. Jim organized, managed, hired teachers and steered the school from its inception until his untimely death in November of 2009. Without question, there would be no school without Jim's hard work and his love of the Great Highland Bagpipe, its music, and traditions. While Jim is gone, his memory will always be with this school and its students. Jim Thomson is greatly missed.
