Introduction to Bagpipes

Location: Colonie

Overview: So you love the sound of the bagpipes, and wonder if you could learn to make that sound. Of course you can! All you need is the desire to learn, the commitment to work at it, and the patience to stick with it. Learning to play the bagpipes is both challenging and fulfilling. It teaches dedication, self-motivation, and tradition while giving you a source of pride and accomplishment. The diligent student will be rewarded with a skill and art form that is both ancient and beautiful; a cultural tradition that is something to be revered and passed on to future generations. In this introductory session, take your first steps into a whole new world of music. Students of all ages are welcome and no previous musical experience is necessary. Although any musical skills you already have will certainly help.

Instructor: Members of the Capital Region Celtic Pipe Band, winners of last year’s Northeast Piping Championship at Altamont.
