Description:

The course objective is to introduce students to the rich and varied history of the Highland Bagpipe. From the earliest recording of civilization, versions of the bagpipe have been an integral part of the human culture. This course will be taught in two sections per meeting; one half will focus upon the bagpipes history and development throughout civilization, leading up to the modern Highland Bagpipe that we have today. In order to accomplish this, Roderick D. Cannon's text from 1988 will be utilized. The second half of each meeting will teach the students how to play the bagpipe by instructing them via their bagpipe chanter kit, which includes a Polypenco Chanter and the accompanying instruction book and CD. Course fee: $87, which includes kit and textbook.
