It is the intent of the OHIO SCOTTISH ARTS SCHOOL to provide comprehensive instruction in traditional arts of Highland dancing, fiddling, harping, piping and drumming, by nationally and internationally recognized teachers. At the end of the week, the students will have increased their knowledge of theory, improved their basic skills and technique, and been exposed to new material.

In June 2013 we will celebrate 35 years of preserving the arts and traditions of Scotland.
When the first Ohio Scottish Arts School was held in 1978, no one knew how far we would progress over the years. The first classes were held in dancing, drumming and piping. Fifty eight students attended that year. In 2012, 150 students from 23 states and Canada attended and took classes in dancing, fiddling, harping, piping and snare & tenor drumming plus a daily Gaelic workshop. Classes were also offered in Highland Dance Teacher training.
These classes focus on basic skills, technique, theory and exposure to new material. This focus allows students to develop a strong foundation. Our instructors are top notch and well respected in their fields. They make themselves available to students during classes with individual attention and after class hours for informal discussion and advice. Each student is given an evaluation by their instructors to use at home as a tool for continued growth!

35th Annual
Come join our "family"! June 22 - 28, 2013
Class time is vigorous with two 3 hour sessions per day, but the evening also allows for informal learning. Students learn from each other in casual jams and instructors often join in these magical, musical moments. The talent that is reflected by these students and instructors is awe inspiring!
Students have an opportunity to experience other disciplines by visiting classes. Harpers have been known to sit in on a dancing class to get the rhythm just right, pipers play for the dancers. This helps all to appreciate and learn about the other arts represented at OSAS.
During this dynamic week one can observe student skills being improved, younger students helping older students with a difficult piece of music or students always playing their instruments or dancing. The commitment to their arts is amazing. It is incredible to be part of this week and students aged 10 to adult never seem to mind giving up a week of their summer to continue the arts and traditions of Scotland.
