Each lesson is carefully selected for the level you are at as you progress through the book, and builds on the lessons learnt from previous lessons. Each note, technique and embellishment is introduced to you slowly, and aims to first build your skill before adding them into a tune.

Learn To Play the Bagpipes utilises well-known tunes to introduce techniques, so the lesson can focus on the technique rather than the learning of a new melody, allowing you to hear faster improvements in your skills.

Learn To Play the Bagpipes: Stage One focuses learning on the practice chanter only, and takes you from zero knowledge through to enough knowledge to begin transferring your skills onto the bagpipe itself.

Learn to Play the Bagpipes Stages One, Two and Three were crafted specifically to teach absolute beginners the basic requirements of bagpipe music making. This series has been the result of twenty years of trial and error training adults and kids the art of the bagpipe. This series encompasses the best of what works best when introducing newcomers to the key concepts that are critical to quick and thorough understanding.

Rather than overwhelm you with every concept, rule and function immediately, you are introduced to one key concept at a time, given direction and exercises to solidify that concept, before moving to the next one. Each concept builds on the skills you have previously mastered, until you reach the end of the book confident in your ability to make music on the practice chanter.

Whether you are learning for you own interest, or whether you wish to graduate onto band, solo, parade or competition bagpiping, this series is a great first step to your goals.
