who have the desire and aptitude to improve their standard of Highland Piping.
In this Comprehensive Guide there are three sections:
- The Light Music Section in each category guides the piper and bands from the
simpler tunes through to the competition type tunes. Technique, expression, rhythms,
and clarity of execution are explained and broken down where necessary. Extra tunes are provided as well.
Band hints are interspersed through the bagpipe tutorials.

reed selection, reed setting, reed manipulation, sound quality, tuning for soloist and
bands with additional hints.

piobaireachd, including timing, variations, relevant extracts, categories, structures,
phrasing, how to interpret the written scores, guidelines and extra piobaireachd

A COMPREHENSIVE BEGINNERS GUIDE
A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE IN 3 SECTIONS - LIGHT MUSIC, MAINTENANCE AND PIOBAIREACHD

This was posted on Bob Dunsire's forum by "T. Stephens", Alaska.
Bill Robertson's tutor: This tutor is on a DVD, with files for two books - a beginners tutor
and a more advanced "comprehensive" tutor - that can be printed out. The books include a
number of historic regimental photos interspersed throughout. The DVD also has audio files,
video files, and pdf's of some tunes in addition to what is in the tutors. If you read
the lessons off your computer, you can click on links to audio and video files relevant to
the lesson. Most tutors are aimed at the beginner piper. After that, most of us are at
the mercy of the skills of our instructors in learning how to interpret tunes. Robertson's
Comprehensive tutor has extensive written information and extensive audio files that explain
and demonstrate many useful pointers about the correct interpretation of all the kinds of
marches, airs, strathspey's, reels, hornpipes, jigs, and had material on piobaireachd that
I haven't had time to go through yet. I think there is a wealth of information on this
DVD for both the student and for the instructor who wants to improve instructional skills.
The approach is pretty traditional, with no modern kitchen piping type stuff - but is great for
building a solid understanding of how tunes should be played, and common pitfalls that many
experienced pipers make...

TESTIMONIAL
Hi Bill,
The DVD's arrived today safe and sound. I won't be at practice tonight, but I'll get Glenn's
to him either over the weekend or next week. I just sat down with the intention of looking it
over for a quick minute or two and a half hour later I am forcing myself to stop! This
collection is absolutely INCREDIBLE! My God, Bill! You've got everything here! It's like a
university course - the instructions for each tune, the histories, the videos, the extra
documentation about the music, and so on. WOW! As we say here in the States, I am "totally
blown away!" I can't wait to get this over to Glenn...
Great job! Man, am I impressed!
Mark
