After moving from Scotland to Los Angeles to pursue a music career, John McLean Allan has been lucky enough to be able to be a professional musician for over 16 years.

John has played with various performers such as Korn, The Chieftains, Michael Flattley, Charlotte Church, The Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, and The Tonight Show Band. John will give a brief history of this unique instrument and how its usage influenced the culture and tradition of Scotland. John will come dressed in beautiful Scottish regalia and explain his dress including his family’s personal tartan. As he plays, he teaches a very basic jig and reel so everyone can get up and dance along. Be amazed by sound that formed a nation! https://www.bagpipetamer.com/bio.php

The audience will learn: How the bagpipe works, how this unique instrument sounds up close, how to clap along and tell the difference between a jig and a reel. You will also learn how to do a Scottish dance too!

John has been a Bagpiper since he was seven years old and has taught others how to play and performed in schools and libraries for over twenty years. As a parent and teacher he knows how important it is to teach the youth and others about music and make it FUN!

This program was made possible with the generous support of the Library Foundation of Los Angeles.
