Practicing the Bagpipes Like a Pro

If you are learning how to play the bagpipes under the instruction of a professional Napa, CA wedding bagpiper, then you are likely going to need to find a place to practice what you have learned. However, because practicing bagpipes isn’t subtle, it can sometimes be difficult to find places to practice what your San Jose, CA funeral bagpiper has taught you. Some unique places to consider practicing include:

• Outdoors – You can search in your neighborhood for an area that is rather noisy, or someplace that allows you to practice and not disturb the peace. Many bagpipers will play in a park, by local scenic attractions or in their backyard (if they are far away from neighbors). • Church facility – If you are affiliated with any church, some might allow you to play in one of their meeting rooms, or even in front of other church members as a form of entertainment. • Community events and locations – You can sign up to be a part of an upcoming parade or play for the local fraternal group hall a few days a week. Consider the Knights of Columbus, local VFW or similar groups in the area who often work with bagpipers for their events. • Restaurants – Some restaurants will agree to allow you to practice in their building as a form of entertainment for their diners. This is particularly true on holidays like Father’s Day, Memorial Day and Labor Day.

While you might not always be able to practice within the comforts of your home, don’t get discouraged. Even a professional Sonoma, CA wedding bagpiper finds themselves having difficulty identifying a place to play. But, this can actually be a good thing. By venturing out into the community and around new audiences, you not only get to practice what you have learned, but you can gain exposure too. If you need assistance with practicing your bagpipes, or finding a place to practice, a San Jose, CA wedding bagpiper like Fred Payne can help!
