Pipes - Highland Pipes 7.30

The class will work on improving embellishments, timing, technique, learning new tunes and working together as a pipe band. We will also concentrate on blowing pipes steadily, bagpipe maintenance and improving starts and finishes when playing pipes. This class is suitable for students who have been playing bagpipes for a year or more, who can already play a few tunes.

It’s easy to transfer classes if you find the class you have enrolled in is going to fast or too slow. Louise is happy to offer guidance on this to new students. We are currently forming the very first 'Scots Music Group Pipes & Drums’ with the aim of the Bagpipe Class performing as a band. The aim of the Bagpipe Class is to play Scotland’s national instrument and have fun!
