Taught about 50 people over the years in the Society for Creative Anachronism, 12 of whom are good, four of whom are great, and two of whom: I ain't fit to wash their hose! I'm neither the best piper nor the best teacher in the world. I spoil students by encouraging them to express themselves on the pipes (play it the way you feel it, I don't care how it's written). Most of my students have not done well with bands--too individualistic. On the other hand, if you're an independent cuss and see bagpipes as a musical instrument like any other and you want to explore them, I'm your man.
