Barry has a holistic approach to piping. From personal physionomy to motorics and posture, the mental stress of performing as well as the physics of sound, all the way to the musicality of each phrase of a tune

I’ve played with Barry in Grade 1 for over 10 years as a member of the St. Laurence O’Toole Pipe Band. Barry is an accomplished player with top level Grade 1 experience as well as being an excellent solo piper in his own right. I would highly recommend Barry as a piping instructor or tutor.
