I teach in-home on evenings and weekends. I can also provide loaner Uilleann practice sets to students while they are actively progressing in their instruction. Piping requires significant strength in the arms and upper torso, so the youngest pipers generally begin at nine years old. Of course, many younger students start on the whistle earlier. I prefer to teach traditionally (imitation/by ear), but will also work off the page to get started.
Piping since 2000.
