Vicki

Braintree

Piano, Flute, Bagpipes, Double Bass, Music Theory

PGCE: Music (1994)

specialist in the Scottish Smallpipes - a type of bagpipe that uses Highand Bagpipe fingering and grace notes. I can teach Highland Bagpipe style on the practise chanter (having learnt this method) but I don't actually perform on the Great Highland Bagpipe. I also play and teach the English border pipes and Swedish bagpipes. It's always important to take a bespoke approach to music tuition, no student is ever the same. I've had a very...

Bob

Warlingham

Bagpipes

Professional: Judo Instructor (on panel) (1976)

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...

Calum

Lambeth

Bagpipes

Other: MTQ1 (2000)

not everyone wants or needs the bit of paper. However, for those who want to mark off clear milestones, the exams are an excellent progressive set of goals to work through. I teach exclusively from home, having found that travelling to lessons becomes very time consuming and results in lesson fees I don't feel comfortable charging. I also teach by Skype, which I find very effective as a learning medium, as well as saving you...

Kilmacolm

Bagpipes

Professional: Professional Piping (1983)

my students can see progress each week (or per session) as I believe that to labour the basics for too long can lead to the student being disillusioned and make them bored and want to give up. For instance, once the student knows the rudiments and says that he or she wants to play, say, "Highland Cathedral" then I will teach them that tune as I believe it makes their learning interesting and keeps up...

Percussion (Drums), Bagpipes

: Over twenty years teaching experience, recording, sessions, radio and TV credits (0)

graded examinations. I have a 100% pass rate for all students who have taken exams with all of them achieving Distinction or Merit. Lessons can also be structured to suit the specific needs of the student. I also offer tuition in Pipe Band snare drumming and Drum corps tuition. I teach the R.S.P.B.A snare drumming syllabus, but again lessons can be structured to help the student work on specific areas that need improving. I have...

Salisbury

Piano, Violin, Bagpipes, Cello, Music Theory, Recorder

Bachelors: BMUS (1st Class Hons) (2009)

learning piece written by others. I encourage them to take responsibility and help to make decisions about pieces/genres and what they want to develop in their learning. This improves motivation and has a positive knock on effect with practice. Most importantly, my lessons are a fun positive experience and I tailor them to each student according to what I think will help their development and what they will enjoy. Some students prefer regular goals such...
