A selection of bagpipe tunes taught by PM Bill Robertson, ex The Royal Scots

You Are Here: Home Bagpipe Tunes

Bagpipe Tunes – A short selection.

It is Bill's intention to publish bagpipe tunes suitable for all bagpipe players. Whether you are a beginner wanting to know how to play the bagpipes or an intermediate/advanced level piper, who wants to kick up his piping a notch or two, or you may be wanting to improve your Piobaireachd a wee bit, I are sure that you will find something here to help you.

Where possible the bagpipe lessons will include:

Free downloadable bagpipe sheet music.
An audio lesson of the tune.
A video lesson for the tune.
When necessary other supporting materials.

The main advantage of the DVD based lessons compared to the web based lessons is that the DVD lessons have hyperlinks to audio and video files. This means that by clicking on a link in the bagpipe lesson document, the appropriate video or audio clip will open for you.

Bill has tried to make your interaction with the various lesson elements, as easy as is possible, by eliminating the hassle of trying to locate all the different reference materials. This eliminates the need for closing and opening files, trying to locate the correct audio or video file. Bill will literally appears in person on your computer screen.
