Bagpiping (Southwest)

Become introduced to the wonderous bagpipe instrument. You will work on fingering of the instrument, learn simple tunes, history of the instrument, focus on modern pipe bands, and gain information on the process of getting onto and purchasing a full set of pipes. You will spend the class learning pipes with a practice chanter and tutor book, which are the instructor's but can be purchased from them if you choose to further your learning after the class ends.

If class is full, please enroll for the waitlist. We will contact you if a space becomes available or we are able to add additional sections.
