How to Play Bagpipes
LEARN HOW TO PLAY BAGPIPES
There is no other instrument and no other soul-stirring sound like the bagpipes. If you've heard the pipes calling you, that information, however, is no surprise. What may be surprising to many people though, is how easy it actually is to learn how to play bagpipes.
I started Get Bagpipe Ready to help you answer your call to the pipes and bust the myth that bagpipes are the hardest instrument to learn!!!
Let's start myth busting right now! Click The video below to learn how to play Scotland the Brave on the practice chanter!

LEARN HOW TO PLAY BAGPIPES IS EASIER THAN YOU THINK!
​
Whenever people say to me, "wow, it must be so hard to learn to play the bagpipes," I always say, "Nonsense! Out of half a dozen or more instruments, bagpipes have been by far the easiest to learn!"
Here are 4 reasons why I found it easier to learn the bagpipes, (not including the fact that I learned the bagpipes when I was 9 years old, whereas most of my other instruments I have struggled to learn as an adult).
1. There are only 9 holes, and no extra keys, buttons, or frets.
2. There is only one active (plus 1 note).
3. For the most part, playing the melody focuses on one hand or the other, not both.
4. There is lots of repetition.
What are you waiting for? Go out and buy a bagpipe practice chanter! Find that old chanter your wife and kids gave you as a present. Yes, I'm talking about the one that came with that stupid bagpipe tutoring book that was both boring AND hard. (I have never managed to learn the bagpipes from a "step-by-step" book!!) I learn best (and have the most fun) learning the bagpipes by starting to play songs.
Let's save you from despairing over practice chanter exercises. Click on the video below to Learn a real tune ASAP!
in this video I teach you the simple tune "Hot Cross Buns". You'll be able to play the C, B, and low A notes. On top of that, you'll have triplets, B strikes, and low A strikes nailed down too!
