Re: Skype Lessons from Belfast Piper Eamonn Dillon
So glad to hear this! I took a class last fall with Eamonn and found him to be one of the most patient and encouraging teachers I've ever encountered. Whether you're just starting out or struggling with something more advanced, he's brilliant at breaking it down to "grokkable" bits, and he's happy to play something slowly with you a million times if need be; in fact, he'll encourage it. As it happens, I was just working on the tune he taught us this morning, and for whatever reason every detail of what he taught us on that tune has stuck in my head like nothing else. Good stuff!

Re: Skype Lessons from Belfast Piper Eamonn Dillon
Cathy, you are spot on! I remember the first tionol I attended as a brand new piper, where I was lucky to even know how to hold my practice set - Eamonn was very patient, explained things well, and played our beginners jig over and over and over and over...as many times as it took for us to learn it. I wouldn't have had that much patience!

- Tell us something.: If you flush your toilet 7 times whilst lilting "The Bucks of Oranmore", an apparition of one of the great pipers of old will appear in the mirror, you will be blessed with good reeds, but cursed with bad bags and bellows.

Sure, I'll look into it!

Good to know! I'll try to check in about this.
