Personal Description: I teach the Scottish Highland Pipes in the areas of London, Surrey and Kent. I also perform the instrument solo and with pipe bands. I am a qualified school teacher and judo instructor.

Tutoring Experience: I have taught pipes over the last 11 years

Tutoring Approach: I usually teach beginners, using practice chanter and the College of Piping's Tutor Book, or that of the National Piping Centre. I am always patient and positive, explaining at their level, and encouraging the student at every step. Most pupils make good progress, so long as they are keen and practise regularly. Once the student can play the basic movements and has memorised several tunes, he or she should be ready (dependant on age, ability and enthusiasm) to start on a set of pipes. I will advise on the purchase and can, if required, obtain a set from most manufacturers, with whom I have an account.

Qualifications:

• Certificate in Education. Judo Instructor (College of P.E… London)
• I have taught academic subjects in schools for 22 years. I have taught pipes in 3 schools over the last 11 years
