About Peter W.
Close
My initial instruction follows the John Sprague school method, which focuses on precise articulation of ornamentation, leading into pipe band music.
Once a grounding in pipe band technique has been achieved, I can continue to work with students along the pipe band path through the intermediate level, or branch off into folk/kitchen piping, informed my extensive experience as a fiddler.
I am also willing to teach small pipe and border pipe students.
About Peter
I am a traditional Scottish musician specializing in 18th century music. I have studied Highland bag piping since 2001 and Scottish Fiddling since 2002 (with a background in classical violin). I teach
both Scottish Fiddle and Highland Bagpipes, as well as Scottish Small pipes and Border pipes.
I have supplemented these areas of knowledge by studying Gaelic since 2007 and Clàrsach (wire-strung harp) since 2012. I have performed with the Potomac Valley Scottish Fiddle Club and the City of Alexandria Pipes and Drums since 2004, for weddings and Scottish Country Dances since 2006, and founded the Scottish Folk-Acoustic band The Devil's Tailors in 2008, and lead the only DC-area open Scottish jam session. I also participate in a living history unit reenacting the 1745 rebellion in the Highlands, leading me to study the music's historical context.
My approach to Scottish traditional music is holistic; I feel it's important to experience how song feeds into instrumental music, and how the instrumental traditions interact with one another, and impart that broader view to my students. My focus is mostly on the folk traditions, though for bagpipe students, I teach the current and formal pipe band technique and repertoire as a foundation.
I have twice qualified for the US National Scottish Fiddling Championship, and was 4th place overall in Grade 4 Senior out of almost 850 pipers in 2006, and have been taking an extended hiatus from competition.

William has a easy-going, comfortable and capable style of teaching. He is comfortable adapting to each student's wants and needs rather than forcing each student to follow the same lessons and learning path. He has taught the bagpipes to students from all walks of life and ages.
I've been very happy with his training. I'm looking forward to continuing my training with him, and would recommend him to beginners and experienced musicians alike.

About Daniel
I am a experienced bagpiper with many years as a solo competitior and band competitor. I started when I was 12 after seeing Braveheart i was hooked. Students can expect to progress every week! The pro

I'm a grade 3 solo piper have won the coveted piper of the day award in stone mountain in 2014 beating everyone in my grade. I do enjoy playing alot of solo gigs and with my pipe band North Georgia Pipes and Drums. I have studied under Ed Neigh, Sandy Jones, Colin Maclellan, Jacob Craig, and Gabriel Nierman. These individuals have shaped my piping into what it is today. This instrument is unique and if you take time to learn you will be a center of attention whenever or wherever you play!
