  • Lessons reasonably priced, starting at $20 per hour. His philosophy is simple, as he states, "taking up the bagpipes is expensive enough to begin with these days. High priced lessons don't promote or contribute to piping. Plus, I prefer my students spend the extra money on a good set of pipes, not burn it all on lessons."
