Highland Bagpipes
Learn the fiddle from a teacher with a great background in Scottish, Irish, Old Time, other styles.
I can work with new fiddle students. I also enjoy helping those with a basic background to find the right tune that will help them develop their skills, as well as to explore new enjoyable styles.

I have played the Highland bagpipes and taught piping for almost 30 years. I lived in Glasgow, Scotland, where I studied piping & fiddling. I am the founder & pipe major of Tucson Highlanders LLC.
I am a Tucson Musician Museum Inductee.
I love to teach the pipes!
I am also a Fiddle teacher and love to play various styles with a guitarist, I play Celtic music and tangos, especially love Mexican, South American,
Cape Breton, and Gypsy styles.
I also fiddle around with writing fiction, small dogs that have become a part of my life, my faith journey, and the study of languages.
I have taught students with autism, blindness.
