ABOUT DOUGLAS MAXWELL

I’ve spent most of my life playing The Great Highland Bagpipe. My experience includes pipe bands, solo competitions, weddings, funerals, social events and teaching.

Having studied and performed pipe music at a high level, my intentions are to share my knowledge and ability whether it’s by making a last send off, appropriate, professional and beautiful or starting lives off together with a traditional touch.

My passion for the music drives me to share my knowledge with others, whether a young one starting out or a more mature student who always wanted to learn.

“Dougie is a fantastic tutor. Not only did he provide insightful instruction from his many years of experience, but was also exceedingly generous to his students. He always worked to support me in whatever stage or circumstances I found myself in my piping. His kind and bright tutorship helped me advance considerably in confidence and build up my bagpiping experience, and I would emphatically recommend him to anyone seeking a tutor who will commit to your development as Dougie did for me.”

“We have known Doug for a number of years, and in the last 5 years my 14 year old son has been attending piping lessons with him. Doug is very friendly and very professional and I would highly recommend him; my son has come on in leaps and bounds since he started with Doug, and he looks forward to his lesson every week. Doug instills a confidence in my son, and this shows not only in his piping, but also day to day life.”
