Son wants to play the pipes

[Chef]

He, like his ol man, (that would be me, for you crackpots out there) he loves knowing about his Scot ancestory. He told me today that he would like to play the pipes. I told him in due time, he would have to practice (he does a recorder well, you know a school thing). He said he's interested, but I'm trying to convey that it would take an everyday type of practice. Is there any pointers anyone could give me in having him start up?

Thanks,
Chaplain Harris

My son is also very interested in playing the pipes, he is seven. Luckily we have a small local pipe band that practices at our church. They have told him that he can learn the pipes from them. In return he must learn the drum first and then march with the band as a drummer while he learns the pipes. You might want to see if there is a local pipe band in your area that would consider the same deal.
