More detail about my background, including non-profit bagpipe volunteerism, performances of note, awards etc., is all here. For myself, it’s become a ‘hot seat’ as I work hard throughout the year to satisfy this tremendous group of instructors.Īnd finally, Thank You for finding me here.

It’s a wonderful thing - and the only place in the world where these teachers gather to pass on their craft. Since 1998, we bring the best of the top Gold Medalists worldwide, 8-10 of them annually, to teach me and 80 other bagpipe musicians at the Winter School. I’m no stranger to the hot seat either - “The best musicians continue to learn,” and in 1996 I was offered the chance to create my own Continuing Education, creating from scratch curriculum and framework to take advantage of hosting the World’s top Double Gold Medal pipers and World Champion drummers annually here in Puget Sound – for what became the Mastery of Scottish Arts piping program – fully considered now to be the best annual Piping & Drumming program in the world. Since 1992 I’ve taught bagpipe music - to women, men, to the young, very young and not-so-young - in person, in classes, and thru my advanced Skype studio in Seattle. To accommodate different performance spaces, I have prepared different volume-ranging bagpipes for spaces tiny to extra-large. Every student is my only student, every composition is my only composition. “…tis my delight – alone in summer shade – to pipe a simple song for thinking hearts.” -WordsworthĮvery performance is my only performance.

I so enjoyed getting to know you, and look forward to working with you again next spring with the Bremerton Symphony Concert Chorale – what fun that will be! Thank you for being part of that special, unforgettable weekend.” They have their copy on the wall in their dining room, and I played it for them on piano.
