About the Monterey Celtic Arts Academy

The Monterey Celtic Arts Academy is a non-profit organization that was established in 1998. The organization was formed to enrich the lives of residents and young students in the Monterey community by offering them educational opportunities related to Celtic arts through the use of workshops, exhibitions, lectures, classes, and performances.

One of MCAA’s goals is to assist young students, ages 7 to 17, to learn how to play the Great Highland Scottish Bagpipe and Drums. We encourage young students to play in the local band for community events and also to compete at Scottish Highland Games, locally, and throughout the United States and Scotland. Learning how to play music can help youth develop coordination and a sense of confidence while learning how to play a unique musical instrument.

MCAA offerings include instruction in the following:

  • Scottish bagpipes
  • Scottish drumming
  • Scottish highland dance
  • MCAA is always looking for interested people to serve on committees, including Newsletter, School Programs, and Fundraising.  If you are interested in serving on any of these, or in any other capacity, please contact us at:
