Want to learn how to play the bagpipes?
Perhaps you're eager and curious to get started, but have no idea where to begin.
Or maybe you've asked around online or with pipers or bands in your area, and felt a bit overwhelmed with the often-conflicting suggestions and advice about how to get started.
Or maybe you've already given the pipes a try on your own or with a band or tutor, but things haven't exactly gone to plan...
Unfortunately, these are really common problems with the way bagpipes are taught around the world.
Generally speaking, the piping world has an antiquated master-to-apprentice system of learning that rarely works unless you've been lucky enough to chance upon a great master – which is about as likely as winning the lottery.
Unfortunately, most aspiring pipers aren't taught by masters – they're taught by well-intentioned pipers with limited musical knowledge, who pass on what they can, but can't give you the whole picture because they don't have it themselves.
Plus, when you learn from a standard tutor book, it requires a teacher to be in the room with you to fill in the gaps of knowledge that can't be found in the text. What if you, like most learners, don't have that luxury?
That's where our in-depth, online course – where you'll be supported with regular feedback from world champion pipers and a network of thousands of other students around the world – can help you build the essential bagpipe fingerwork fundamentals you'll need to be a great piper.
And best of all? You don't need any musical knowledge at all to get started.
We're going to teach you how to play the bagpipes, from scratch, and with a comprehensive, proven approach that will have you playing bagpipes in no time at all.
