Lessons

I offer Scottish bagpipe and Uilleann pipe lessons, both in person in the Sierre/Sion region and online via Skype. My classes are suitable for all levels, whether you're a beginner or looking to perfect your technique.

To begin playing the Scottish bagpipes, you should start with a practice chanter, a training instrument that allows you to learn the basic techniques before moving on to the bagpipes themselves. Lessons are structured around exercises and sheet music, and knowledge of music theory is not essential, although it can be an advantage.

For the Uilleann pipe, you'll need a practice set, including a chanter, a bagpipe, and a bellows. Learning is primarily by ear, inspired by recordings of great musicians. Again, no knowledge of music theory is required to begin.
