Hello, my name is Steven McElhaney, and I have been playing the bagpipes for over 25 years. I became a world champion when my bagpipe band won the World Championship title in Scotland in 2003. I have always had an everlasting passion to teach the bagpipes and share the unique, once-in-a-lifetime experiences I've had just by being able to play the bagpipes.

I offer lessons for $25 each, as well as a chance to become part of a non-profit competitive bagpipe band that travels worldwide to compete in the highest levels of Scottish arts. Lessons are held at my home in Sacramento, but I am also available to travel for lessons (with the specific mileage subject to change depending on the location of the student).

Please note that there is a $25 cancellation fee for cancellations made within 24 hours of the lesson.

Thank you,

Each lesson is tailored to help the student reach their fullest potential. Our lessons will consist of one-on-one sessions, with the student and instructor sitting facing each other to demonstrate how to play the bagpipes. The finger work and technique required to play typically takes about six months, starting with a practice chanter before progressing to a set of bagpipes. Read less
