Uilleann Pipes Tuition

Please note: Due to work and other current commitments, I am currently unable to undertake tuition. 

I have been playing the Uilleann Pipes for 15 years, and have been fortunate enough to spend time learning with some of the greatest names in piping, such as Mick O'Brien, Mikey Smyth, Mickey Dunne, Nollaig McCarthy, Martin Nolan, Gay McKeon, Tommy Martin, Neillidh O Maolagain, Brian McNamara, Kevin Rowsome, Emmett Gill and Jimmy O'Brian-Moran. Having been privileged to sit at the feet of these great pipers has taught me a great deal about piping technique, musical interpretation and expression, piping lore and teaching techniques.

 

As such, I am delighted to be able to provide skillful and patient tuition on the uilleann pipes, and over the years I have had numerous students, of all ages and abilities.  I also have considerable experience in teaching both in a group setting at the Hibernia School of Irish Music based in Avonmouth, Bristol, and as a private tutor giving instruction on a one to one basis. Having struggled to learn the pipes alone during the first year or so, I realise the great importance of receiving instruction from a more experienced piper, and am fully familiar with the problems that students face when taking their first steps on the long road to becoming a piper. I feel that competent and expert instruction is pivotal to a students future success and take great pride in providing the best guidance possible. My tuition rates are very reasonable and I am able to provide instruction at home in Portsmouth, or travel to see a student should it be required and I welcome enquiries from prospective students.
