Learn to Play
If you have ever dreamed of playing the Great Highland Bagpipes but didn't know who to call, well, your life just changed.
You will learn how to play on a practice chanter,
and you will use that chanter for every tune you will ever learn.
Once you have mastered ten tunes chosen by the pipe major, you will be
assisted in finding/buying a set of bagpipes. There is a LOT of junk on the internet, so don't get impatient.
If you've read this far, keep going to find out what you need to start:
1) Free group bagpipe lessons are held Monday nights at 6:00 at Chafunkta Brewing by an award winning piper. Private lessons for a small donation can be arranged if you don't want to do the group thing..
2) You need a long, practice chanter. We highly recommend a McCallum PC4 Long Plastic practice chanter in black, or a variety of colors (make sure you get a long one), from The Pipers Hut. These are the same chanters, just a different color of plastic, and are almost indestructable.
3) You need "the Green Book", also available from The Pipers Hut.
4) Get a 3-ring binder with plastic page inserts for your course work/music, then download and print this page, 2 sheets of staff paper (free online) and bring it all with you when you come.
5) Finally, Email us and let us know you are coming. See you soon!
