This web site is dedicated to teaching people to play the Great Highland Bagpipes.
You can learn at any age, anywhere in the world. Boys, girls, men and women all over the world, are using my tuition techniques right now. You do not need to have Scottish blood to become a piper.
Before I go on any further, there are a few things I must tell you.
The bagpipes is not one of these instruments you can just pick up and play.
It is not acceptable just to be able to make a noise and “ busk ”, what you think is a familiar tune.
There are a few necessary steps to take before you get to the playing of the noble instrument.
This instrument is unlike any other, in that, you do not learn to play on the pipes. You do not need to go to the expense of buying a set of bagpipes at this stage. Everyone learns on a small ,mellow instrument called a practice chanter.
On this, you learn all the fingering techniques , musical movements and reading the music. You also learn some tunes to start off your repertoire. You need music to play on the pipes.
Once you progress onto the pipes, you do not discard your practice chanter. You keep it handy for improving your technique and for learning new tunes. All throughout your piping life, you will have your practice chanter handy.
My tuition is available to anyone at a very affordable price. It comes on two dvd’s.
The first is the virtual tutor book which, is just like a book but, there is no paper. Each page has an audio track, where I explain and demonstrate everything needed to play properly.
The second dvd is a close-up movie, showing my fingers on the practice chanter. Playing everything in detail to show you exactly how to play all the techniques and movements.
There is no other tuition course like this or even comes close to being half as good as this.
This is just like having me right there with you, ready to help and advise, whenever you need me.
