Are your kids interested in bagpipes or drumming? This summer, Macalester's own director of piping, Mike Breidenbach '96, and drumming instructor, Katie Bishop '01, are offering piping lessons for children of Macalester alumni, faculty, and staff. These small-group lessons will be about 45 minutes long. If you are interested, but 6 p.m. on Thursdays won't work for you, please email Katie; another section may be offered at a different time. Ages 9 to 18, but adults can be accommodated.
To sign up, email or call Katie at catherine.bishop17@gmail.com or 612-812-1308.
