Entry level instruction on basic piping.

From obtaining a practice chanter, to 1/2 hour lessons.  I'll work with you through learning the notes, gracenotes, beginning marching, and learning your first tunes.

Whether you wish to join one of the area bands ( NEAC in Jonesboro; Delta Pipes and Drums,Memphis; Wolf River, Memphis; or Lyons @ Batesville),  or stay solo.

At an appropriate time, we'll discuss full stands of pipes. the makers, materials, bags, reeds.  I've become quite good, at finding good used sets suitable for learning, experimenting or band playing, saving enough from the cost of a new stand, to actually get the accessories that make playing.. fun.

I do believe in respect. I didn't get my stand of pipes, until the PM (Pipe Major) of the band I learned from, stated it was time.  I expect no less.  If you think you can learn better on your own, go for it.  If you're willing to drive to Batesville, there are a couple of people there which truly are much better teachers, but if you can't go that far.. I'll at least get you started, then you can transition to a higher level of mentor.

Oh, and the most important thing.. $20 per 1/2 hour, paid by the month, in advance.

What I'd suggest as starting equipment (and I can get these for you, at a great price)
