    He did not waste any time. His lesson was concise and easy to understand. After the lesson he emailed me a follow up video, reviewing what we had gone over. This helped provide quick reference during my practice sessions.

    Michael is a fantastic teacher for anyone wanting to learn the bagpipe. I have been a student of his for several months and could not be happier.

    Michael is a great teacher, but also he is a great guy. Even though we live 1200 miles away, over the past two years we have grown a friendship through lessons. Michael is doing what he loves and that is evident. He goes above and beyond for an online teacher. I would recommend Michael to anyone for their bagpipe interest.

    Michael is very readily available for any questions or concerns that I have. I live seven hours away, but he is always quick to respond. And the distance learning makes it possible for me to finally fulfill a dream of playing the bagpipes.

    Michael is a great instructor. Ive been with him for over 7 years now and hes been excellent the whole time. The bagpipes are a unique and difficult instrument to play and Michael has been amazing at guiding me every step of the way in instruction, as well as helping with the dark and arcane art of tuning pipes and reeds.
