Experienced tutor in Bagpipes in Pueblo West, Van offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

“Van is one of the best instructors I've had the pleasure to learn from. He has such a vast knowledge base of bag piping. He's a professional in every regard and has the ability to make the more difficult aspects of piping easy to understand. I highly recommend Van to everyone interested in learning to play the coolest instrument on the planet!!”

“When I first wanted to learn bagpipes I made contact with Van and set up my first lesson. He is a very patient teacher, took me from trying to play one note properly, to being able to play bagpipes. I have been taking lessons for just over a year and can play a number of tunes thanks to Van. Well worth the money, you just need to take the time to practice what he has taught.”

“Van has been providing me (a beginning piper) bagpipe lessons over the past 5 months. He is excellent in his teaching methods and patient with my progress. His direction has been constructive and his willingness to help me improve has been encouraging.Van's competence in demonstrating techniques that are easy to understand and improve my skills and in playing ability while not making me feel inferior at my stage is appreciated. Finally, I find his teaching rates to be very reasonable and a great value for the money spent.”

“To paraphrase the old high school football cheer, “if Van can’t do it; then nobody can.” Van Frazier was born to teach. Van’s ability to teach piping combines his personal mastery of piping with his inherent ability to get inside of his students’ minds and adjust his teaching methods accordingly. It’s one thing to play the pipes well. It’s quite another to teach piping well. Van has mastered both playing and teaching. I’ll remain forever grateful for all of the effort he has expended on my behalf.”

“I've had a lot of music teachers starting at a very young age. What makes Van one of my best teachers are his abilities to constructively point out and work on my weaknesses and to push me just beyond my current abilities. I know he will help me work on the details that make a good musician great. His love and knowledge of Scottish music have been a valuable resource and a great inspiration.”

“Van Frazier is an excellent bagpipe instructor for all ages. Van helped me get back into piping after 7 years of no practice. He started working with me regarding the basics and within about 6 months I was back to playing tunes on my pipes again. His lessons are very focused, but Van makes it enjoyable with his easy going nature. Also, he is really knowledgeable. Do yourself a favor and try at least one lesson with him, you won't regret it.”

“I don’t ever show it, but I am so grateful for everything you have done for me. You are the reason I am playing today, and I just wanted to tell you “Thank You.” Thank you for your patience and understanding. I will never forget… What a wonderful world this would be if every student’s life could be touched by a teacher as caring as you. Thanks so much.”
