Anyone in the Poughkeepsie area.....

[Tink]

Know of any bagpiping groups or places in that area where one can learn the bagpipes?

My honey wants to learn. He bought a chanter this past weekend to learn the basics, but having a teacher would be most helpful.

Thanks

your best bet would be to contact Dutchess County Police Emerald Society...they could point you in the right direction.


now that i think of it, not even sure if there IS a Dutchess chapter of PES.. but thers a westchester chapter...

[Tink]

Thanks I'll suggest tit to him. I did actually ask him about fire departments and such because around me and in NYC they always seem to have a drum and pipe core. He claims none around him do. However at a recent WWII reenactment, we met a nice man from NJ who plays and he told us about a group that plays a local pub in Hyde Park that has a piper and we're going to check that out.

I actually know someone that gives bagpipe lessons...But she lives here in Rockland County. If that's not too far for him to go (maybe on weekends?) I can drop her a line and ask if she's open to it.

PM me if you need more info.

Thanks. I will ask Jim and see if he wants to go to Rockland. Maybe....

Tink -

I just put out some inquiries for an instructor for the Demi-God down here in PA -- waiting on responses.

He's also got a student chanter and has been trying, but without much success.

But if he and Jim got together and started to...well....bleat...... :) :)

LOL.....hey Jim's not bad with that canter. It's tolerable. :wink:

I hope they both find teachers. I know Jim is eager to learn as I am sure Daniel is.

I'm letting him play outside.

I'm hoping it'll scare the freakin' ants and spiders away.

[Ysobelle]

Well, if it's an Uilliean pipe chanter, it'll scare the snakes away. That'd be nice.
