Dojo University 2022 Price Changes

Quick Summary - Existing members will see a $5 monthly increase as of March 1st.

Read on for all of the details.

Dear Valued Dojo U Members,

Over the last decade, Dojo University has developed from a fledgling operation into the world’s largest, longest-running, and most successful online piping school. 

During that time, we have continuously added value for our students, which now culminates in:

  • 20+ weekly live classes, plus guest lectures and more than 1000 hours of recorded classes and workshops to review
  • 50+ courses in an extensive catalog- that cover almost every piping-related topic imaginable
  • ever-changing content and repertoire, creating an enormous library of tunes, articles and resources 
  • a hundreds-strong community of pipers around the world
  • a growing faculty of more than a dozen piping and drumming specialists from six countries. 

In the last ten years, we’ve never raised our monthly fees for membership. However, with a dollar that has inflated significantly over the past decade, it’s time for us to modestly raise our fees to ensure we can continue to provide you with exceptional service and excellent support. 

Our strong intent is that even with a slight increase, you will continue to receive an entire month of piping content for less than the price of a single (high-quality) piping lesson. As you’ll see below, existing students will also receive a discount compared to new members, as recognition of your ongoing support.

To minimize the effect of this price increase for existing members, it will be staggered as follows:

Current (standard) fees (as at January 2022):

  • Premium membership: $30/month
  • Basic membership: $15/month

From March 1st, 2022:

  • Existing Premium members: $35/month
  • New Premium members: $45/month
  • Existing Basic members: $20/month
  • New Basic members: $30/month

From January 1st, 2023:

  • Existing Premium members: $40/month
  • New Premium members: $45/month
  • Existing Basic members: $25/month
  • New Basic members: $30/month

Changes to your billing will be made automatically from the dates shown above. 

Thank you for your understanding in this change, and as always, for your continued support of Dojo University. 

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or require assistance. 

All the best,

Andrew

  1. While nobody likes price rises, I simply have to say that even after the rises have been implemented, bearing in mind the breadth and depth of the Dojo offering it remains astonishingly good value for money.
    The explanatory video is a most appreciated personal touch; I’m left with no doubt of your sincerity and hope and expect that Piper’s Dojo will continue to go from strength to strength.
    Very best wishes
