I am going to be moving in the near future, to the Houston TX
area, so I am looking for a new pipe instructor. I have found the
Hamilton School of Piping and belive the name of the instructor is
Lars Sloan. Does anyone have any info on him or his school? So far,
it looks like I may not have a lot of options, but any info I could
get would be helpful in making my decision. I also saw a web site
that stated he plays in a band called "The Rogues" if anyone has seen
them perform. Thanks for the help.

The guy is a genuinely impressive piper and performer. I met him at a
midevil fair in ohio, he has some original stuff that just shakes ya to
the core...impressive. his group "the scottish rogues" are all natural
performers and I considered it an honor to meet them.(especially since I
had their CD for a year prior.)I actually got a chance to play with them
on stage and they were very polite not to rip my mediocre performance to
pieces.

Lars was an open grade piper in his competition days, but no longer
walks the boards. He has been teaching for a number of years and the
most recent CD by The Rogues is up for a Grammy Award. Many of the
tunes on the CD were written by Lars. For a review of the CD by Piper

Welcome to Houston.

All the best,

If memory serves correctly, Mr. Sloan first learned the practice chanter in
Detroit.

You are absolutely correct.Lars has been down in the Houston area for a
number of years.He started playing in the Detroit area with The St.Andrews
Pipe Band,which turned out some fabulous players.(Pipers&Drummers)
Walter Rose,John Goodenow,Dave Martin were some of the instructors as well
as serving as the Band's P/M's.Dave Martin is still the P/M.
