Learn to play the Scottish Highland
Bag pipes!

I teach beginners how to play the Scottish Highland
Bagpipe. No experience necessary. I teach in conjunction with The
Tucson Pipers.
Pictured above is the original
Preparatory Pipe Corps --our beginning pipe band. I'm proud to be pictured
at left with a band composed entirely of some of my students. The age
range in this picture is from six to seventy-four!
My background
"HOW DO
I GET STARTED?"
What you need to begin is a
practice chanter -- not a full set of bag pipes. You can get them locally
at the Folk Shop, located on Campbell Ave. between Grant Road and Glenn.
Tell them you will be studying with me to get a 10% discount. You can also
find practice chanters from numerous vendors online.

The pipes have been learned
using practice chanters for a long time. It will take time, from several
months to as long as a year before you would be ready to buy bagpipes.
Getting the practice chanter allows you time to decide if you really want
to commit to purchase a set of bag pipes.
I provide the printed music and
exercises for free as part of the lesson. Students usually schedule a
weekly lesson time.
The pipes setup that I
recommend, particularly for playing in the band can be obtained from Gary
Guth. Here you will find excellent & trustworthy customer service.
I teach privately at my home. You can
e-mail or call for more information, 520-907-4460.
