Hawaii's Anderson Bailey said he likes the sound the instrument makes, one that can take players a long time to get right. But Anderson’s teachers said it seems to come naturally to him.
He said he likes the sound the instrument makes, one that can take players a long time to get right. But Anderson’s teachers said it seems to come naturally to him.KHNLThe fifth-grader first discovered the sound of bagpipes when he was only 6 years old. He got his first chanter, the part of the bagpipe without the bag, a few years later.“And never in my wildest dreams did I think that not only would we find a piper, but there would be a pipe band on Oahu,” Amber Bailey, Anderson’s mother, said.
“I usually listen to it when I go to sleep, when I’m doing something in my room or when I get up to go eat breakfast,” he said.“It’s literally in his blood. He lives and breathes these bagpipes,” Amber Bailey said. “I’m enjoying this journey just as much as he is.” Anderson now studies under the best bagpipe musicians in the state. He also performs with two bagpipe bands.“Working on new tunes, reviewing old ones, and practicing the pipes,” he said.
Aside from being the youngest bagpiper in Hawaii, Anderson is also an honor roll student, a budding golfer, and an all-star baseball player.Copyright 2023 KHNL/KGMB via Gray Media Group, Inc. All rights reserved.
