Fife and Drum Workshops
The Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site is looking for new recruits. The national historic site is working with the Fortress Louisbourg Association to train young musicians this winter.
To ensure the next generation of fifers and drummers are ready to fill its military music program, Parks Canada and the Fortress Louisbourg Association are offering lessons!
The lessons are open to youth aged 10 to 16 years. Previous musical ability is an asset, but not required. Students will be divided into beginner, intermediate and advanced groups.
The fife and drum lessons will be offered every Saturday at 10 a.m. at Cape Breton University. The Fortress Louisbourg Association will offer three sessions throughout the winter months. Registration is from $40 to $50. For more information or to sign up, call the Fortress Louisbourg Association at (902) 733-2280 ext. 3548.
This is just one of the ways Parks Canada is connecting with young Canadians, to create hands-on, memorable experiences. The Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site hosts various events, classes and workshops to encourage new ways of experiencing the site and learning from knowledgeable interpreters.
