LEARN TO PLAY THE GREAT HIGHLAND BAGPIPES
Now you can learn to play the unique and very popular musical instrument that few people in the world can play!
You don't need a set of bagpipes to start learning to play! All beginning lessons will take place on a "practice chanter" and all lessons include a free lesson book.
Van will guide you through the start up process and help you choose the proper practice chanter, lesson books and even advise you when it comes time to purchase your own set of pipes.
Depending on your ability, you will soon start playing the Great Highland Bagpipe. When you learn to play at a sufficient level, Van will help you join, and play with a local bagpipe band!
Individual 45 minute lessons start at just $20

Andrew-
I wanted to let you know that many people came over and thanked my brothers and myself for having a piper at my sisters burial. They said it was a nice touch, and she would have enjoyed it.
My brothers also wanted to let you know their thoughts as well.
I have positive feedback on the piper. We were late, but he waited for us. He placed himself in a respectful position, not close enough to intrude, but close enough to be heard. He played the tunes we requested. I especially enjoyed hearing How Great Thou Art on the pipes. Pam wishes she could have heard it when I told her about that as it was her Mom's favorite hymn.
Sound: Very Good to Excellent
Appearance: Excellent
Professionalism: Excellent
We appreciated his flexibility and working with us - the funeral ran longer than expected, and a number of people liked hearing Great Thou Art. Again, thank you, and pleas pass this message on to Van.
