About Ben
Hello potential new students, My name is Ben and I've been playing the bagpipes for 15 years. In that time I've played with a Grade 1 Pipe Band, competed in solo competitions and performed all over the world in various settings. In my lessons I aim to not only make you a great bagpipe player but a well-rounded musician. No matter what setting you're hoping to play pipes in I'll be able to help guide you and answer any questions you have regarding pipes and music in general! :)

A Fantastic Bagpipe Tutor - Highly Recommended
As a mature student, I was initially daunted by the thought of learning the bagpipes. I had tried lessons before with another tutor, but the process felt overly complex and discouraging. Thankfully, I decided to give it another shot. and I’m incredibly glad I did.
Ben has been a game-changer in my learning journey. From the start, he took the time to understand my lifestyle and learning pace, helping me build regular practice into my routine in a way that felt manageable and motivating. His ability to tailor his teaching to the individual is outstanding. He’s a seasoned tutor who knows how to read a student’s needs and adjust accordingly, ensuring that every lesson is impactful, both musically and technically.
Under Ben’s guidance, I progressed quickly on the chanter, reaching a solid standard that gave me real confidence. Within just three months, I transitioned onto the pipes and have since joined my local band, something I never thought I’d achieve so soon!
Ben’s passion for the instrument shines through in every lesson. His relaxed, encouraging teaching style creates an environment where learning feels enjoyable rather than stressful. What once seemed incredibly difficult now feels not only achievable, but fun, and that’s entirely down to his natural gift as a teacher.
I can’t recommend Ben highly enough. If you’re thinking of learning the bagpipes- especially if, like me, you’ve had doubts or a rocky start - give Ben a call. You won’t regret it.View more recommendations
