Summer Games are Here

The local Highland Games competition season is well under way.  Check out the calendar at the BC Pipers site for all of the details.  The local circuit takes us to the end of July and then it's over to Scotland for the World Pipe Band Championships and the top solo competitions.

Hope to see you around the Games!

Day 30! CONGRATULATIONS!

We made it!  And congratulations on being a part of the first-ever BagpipeLessons.com 30 Day Practice Challenge.  Way back on Day One, I posed this challenge:

I invite you to join me and my students on a 30 Day Practice Challenge this month. The goal is to practice every day for 30 days straight. I have found through experience with my own piping and by teaching my students that a dedicated, sustained practice routine leads to big breakthroughs.

Here are the details:

Commit to practicing EVERY DAY for 30 days.

That's it.

And here we are at Day 30, the finish line. We covered a lot of ground over the past 30 days. But the main focus was to make your daily practice a priority and just put the time in each and every day for 30 days.

How did you do?

I'd like to offer my personal thanks to all of you who joined me on this 30 Day Challenge. Thanks to all of you who stuck with it and gave your 100% over the past month.  And thanks to those who contributed through their comments and posts.  I know the rest of you were following along and practicing at home.

Thank you!
