Bagpipe Lessons

Welcome to “BagpipeLessons.Net”.  If you are new to playing the bagpipe, you should read my blog post “Interested in Playing the Great Highland Bagpipe?“.

If you already play the pipes, I can offer you the following tools and resources:

• The Bagpiper Blog – a collection of nearly 100 articles about a variety of subjects from technique to purchasing pipes
• A vast library of carols, hymns, and songs arranged for the bagpipe
• Knowledge garnered from nearly  50 years of playing experience, including 23 years as a full-time musician
• Tips gained from 25 years of teaching experience instructing pipers of all levels
• Maintenance advice on keeping your instrument in prime working condition
• Access to our Facebook group “Playing the Bagpipe”, where you can learn even more and chat with like-minded pipers from around the world

Below is a sample tune program to teach you how to develop tunes using “Scotland The Brave”.  Watch the video below for instructions on how to use this program.

All of my lessons have a rhythm training element in them.  Before you take any of my classes below, you should take this one first.
