New On-line lessons

Friday, March 20, 2020 by Karen Hickman | Uncategorized

I have been working to get my lessons on-line using Google Classroom so that we can continue with our learning while we are all going through these strange times. I will also shortly be offering lessons remotely for those that are interested. I will be contacting you all shortly to enquire whether this is something you are interested in.

Keep watching the website and email for more details.

Spring Term

Tuesday, January 14, 2020 by Karen Hickman | Uncategorized

Happy New Year!  We hope you had a great Christmas and are looking forward to achieving all of your aims for the coming year.

You should have had a chance to clean your instruments, especially mouthpieces.  A good wipe down after every use goes a long way to reducing microbial growth.  There are many articles regarding ‘bagpipe lung’, a respiratory condition caused in part, by poor hygiene with mouthpieces.

Some of you will be taking exams this session and are working hard towards them.  Some are exploring other repertoire following successful exams last term.

Let’s make 2020 the year we all work our hardest towards achieving our goals, whatever they are.
