Looking for a fun bagpipe lesson? Learn the bagpipes in a workshop led by Roddy. Roddy works with a range of groups looking for a fun introduction to the mighty highland bagpipe. We offer a hands on bagpipe lesson experience. Guests learn finger-work on the practice chanter, before transferring their skills to the bagpipe.

Fun Bagpipe Workshops for groups

Bagpipes lessons can range from have a blow experience to full tutored group experience. The lesson lasts between 15 and 60 minutes depending on numbers and lip strength. Usually groups of 10-20 are great for beginner lessons. For larger groups, Roddy also incorporates some Scottish dancing activities.

What kind of group plays bagpipes?

Roddy works with corporate groups, travelling choirs, incentive travel providers, TV and social media hosts and people who just want to play bagpipes. This is a fun experience that you will not have had before. We can add in some tartan hats and sashes if you want to grab some media ready snaps of your experience.

We provide:

Practice Chanters for each player in the group.

One set of bagpipes, which each guest gets to play.

Antibacterial wipes to keep everything hygienic between players.

What you need for a bagpipe workshop:

A lot of puff.

Some water.

A sense of humour, cunning and perseverance.

A space to do the experience (where we can get away with making noise). We can recommend some spaces if your hotel cannot accommodate.

If you think you have what it takes, give it a blow! Let us know from the contact page.

With his company Reel Time Events, Roddy also runs a Ceilidh dancing experience. This partners the bagpipe workshops with ceilidh dancing experiences. Guests can learn a few easy and fun ceilidh dances which can get them ready for a full on ceilidh night in Edinburgh city centre, or great for corporate groups with a ceilidh band for their gala dinner.
