If you have ever heard of Pipe Major Bill Robertson, of The Royal Scots, then you will know that whatever he is doing has to be good. Well, now Bill has a great new web site and it is all about bagpipe tutorials. There is a lot of free audio lessons together with the exercise and music sheets to give you a taste of what he has to offer. This is a splendid web site and I was so impressed with the free lessons I have already asked my wife to purchase the lessons on DVD. Well! she has the pay pal account. ;-)
I have included two links for Bill's site. The one above is the main site. This one takes you directly to the tutorial purchase page. Again I have to say that this is very good value indeed.
PipeBandArticles.com
So far they have 192 articles. Everything ranging from drumming, tuning, culture, history, learning to play, drones etc. Lots of good information all in one location. Another great site
Bagpiper.com
One of the best general information sites I have ever seen. Well worth a visit.
