Bagpiping
Professional Bagpiping Services in Vermont, New England, New York, and Beyond for any Occasion
Services
I provide professional bagpiping services for any occasion.
A bagpiper playing on a distant hill, on the steps of a church, or leading a bridal party into or out of a wedding will create a lasting memory. Having a bagpiper play for funerals and memorial services can be a great way to honor a loved one's cultural heritage. I have played for weddings, funerals, anniversaries, birthdays, retirements, gallery openings, holiday celebrations, bar openings, bar and bat mitzvahs, athletic events, and countless other occasions. My experience allows me to be able to tailor my services to meet your specific needs.
Bagpiping Instruction
I also offer individual, group, or band instruction at any level. Whether you need music selection advice, bagpiping or ensemble instruction, maintenance or instrument setup and repair workshops, or original music compositions, I have experience working and playing with several bands in the Northeast US and will work with you to make you a better musician.
Not all Bagpipers are Created Equal
When considering a bagpiper, cost should be a factor, however, so too should be expereince, professionalism, musical ability, and appearance. If considering multiple pipers, ask for testimonials, sound samples, and photos. I am one of Vermont's very few professional-level pipers, having achieved "Professional" status with the Eastern United States Pipe Band Association. I pride myself in my clean, pressed, and professional appearance and professionalism during events. Check out the media link on my page to hear me play some of my favorite tunes.
