We want Alaska Celtic Pipes & Drums to continue to grow, and if you’re interested, and want to put some real effort into learning and playing, we want YOU! We extend an open invitation to pipers and drummers to join the Band, and we invite anyone who would like to learn to play, to learn with us in our highly successful and achievable structured lessons program.

The Band meets regularly for weekly practice every Friday 6:30-8:30pm at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church, 18444 Old Glenn Hwy in Chugiak (on Old Glenn Hwy between North and South Birchwood Loops) We heartily welcome any experienced Pipers and Drummers in the area to come to our regular weekly practices and play with us! Even if it has been a while since you’ve played regularly, we can help get you sorted! Come on out and join us!

Throughout the year on Fridays 5:30pm-6:30pm we hold lessons for beginners and intermediate pipers on chanter and bagpipe, as well as lessons for beginner and intermediate drummers (Scottish Side Drum, Tenor, and Bass.) Also throughout the year on Saturday mornings, 10:00am-12:30pm at Twindly Bridge Charter School, at 141 E Seldon Rd in Wasilla, (at the corner of Seldon Road and North Lucille Street,) we hold another group of lessons for beginners and intermediate pipers on chanter and bagpipe, as well as lessons for beginner and intermediate drummers (Scottish Side Drum, Tenor and Bass.) There are three 50-minute sessons on Saturdays, (10:00-10:50; 10:50-11:40; and 11:40-12:30,) so now, you have two convenient opportunities during the week to learn at your own pace, under expert instruction. Lessons are by arrangement, prior to each session. If you’re interested, please contact Pipe Major Richard Christiansen by text at 907-315-9838, or email at jungstensgericht@yahoo.com
