Mr. J. McGillivray - More than 20 years of international prizes in all branches of pipe music lend credence to the prestigious Piper & Drummer magazine's description of Jim McGillivray as "one of the world's best all-round pipers – ever." His premier solo awards include the coveted Gold Medals at Oban and Inverness, Scotland, the Clasp at Inverness, the March, Strathspey & Reel at the Glenfiddich Championship at Blair Castle, Scotland, and the North American Championship. Jim's experience also encompasses the highest level of pipe bands. He was a member of the groundbreaking 78th Fraser Highlanders from 1988-93. For 10 years in the 1970s, he was a key component in the Guelph Pipe Band's rise to prominence. He subsequently led the band to the North American Championship at Maxville, Ontario, in 1981. Jim is one of the most active and successful teachers of piping on the continent. His summer school experience is extensive. His private pupils have won North American Championships at both the professional and amateur levels. His 1998 piping tutor and CD, Rhythmic Fingerwork, sold out its first printing in seven months and has quickly set a new standard for piping tutors world wide. In the fall of 1998, Jim joined the teaching faculty at the century old St. Andrew's College boys school in Aurora, Ontario as Director of its long-standing Piping & Drumming program. The 85-year-old program has since come alive with enthusiasm as boys 11-18 from Canada, the U.S. and around the world fall under the spell of the pipes in the motivating and magical environment of St. Andrew's College. An engaging performer, Jim is much in demand for recitals, piping workshops and band clinics across North America. |
