Interested in the fun of Piping? It all starts with lessons!
HOW LONG HAVE I BEEN PIPING? I have been playing & enjoying the bagpipes since 1998 (professionally since 2013).
HOW DID I LEARN PIPING? I studied Piobaireachd style piping under celebrated Pipe master Dr Edward “Chip” Reardon. He laid a foundation from which I developed my piping. Chip Reardon was a persistent taskmaster, but always made sure I had a good time getting there. I want this to be as positive a learning experience as it was for me. While I follow the methods used in my training. I do not believe that every student learns either the same way or at the same pace. While you begin learning the same way every piper does, it is my job to design a system that works for you as the individual student.
WHAT GIVES ME UNIQUE INSIGHTS INTO MY TEACHING METHODOLOGY? I hold a B.S. in Music Education from West Chester University. This allows me to help you develop a critical ear in tuning your pipes, as well as deconstructing key chanter fingerings to help you clean up those problematic areas. Also, as a professional vocalist, I understand proper posture & breathing that are critical for the piper’s optimal playing. I want you to enjoy the journey of learning to play the pipes.
HOW CAN YOU FIT THIS INTO YOUR TIME AND BUDGET? I am able to teach in person & via remote technology (Skype, Zoom, etc). My rate is $30 for a 30-minute lesson & payment can be made either by cash (for in person lessons), check, or online payment via PayPal or Venmo.
