Bagpipe Lessons are given every Thursday evening at McLane High school from 6pm to 7pm. McLane High School is located between Shields and Clinton ave. The address is 2727 N Cedar Ave, Fresno, CA. We meet in the Music building located just South of the main entrance to the school.
Arrangements can also be made for other lesson times. Call Bill Jamison at 559-297-5065 (home) or 559-999-4754 (cell) for information or more detailed directions to McLane High school.
The beginner needs only to purchase a practice chanter from a bagpipe dealer online. Most pipers play polypenco practice chanters, but many still choose to play the African Blackwood ones. Call Bill Jamison for sources and types of practice chanters available. Do not buy bagpipes, (especially on Ebay) until you have started the lessons and have the advice of the instructor or other accomplished pipers, (there is a lot of junk out there).
