Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FOREWORD By Seumas MacNeill and Thomas Pearston The aim of those responsible for the publication of this book has been to present a number of simplified explanations, in carefully chosen steps, so that anyone may easily become a competent performer on Scotland’s national instrument. Piping learned properly is relatively quite easy. The correct way to do finger movements is the simplest, for obviously only that way can the fast reels and jigs be physically possible. Only those who are taught badly or not taught at all find difficulty in learning the pipes. And yet, with all of its simplicity, the bagpipe is capable of the highest musical expression, being the vehicle of a classical music, Ceol Mor, which is the equal of anything in the world of music. The physical effort involved has also been greatly exaggerated. Many young boys and girls play without difficulty the Great Highland Pipe, and although the effort to learn may be considerable, the instrument should always be comfortable to play. The movements and tunes in this book have been described in great detail, partly because of the importance of building a firm foundation, and also that it will be possible for anyone to follow easily each step, even if someone is unable to obtain any other help. Teachers of piping will find that they can save themselves a lot of what is sometimes tedious explanation, especially in the teaching of staff notation, while those in charge of juvenile bands can change what is usually a rushed job into one of competent, easy achievement. This tutor book is the result of the experiences of the Senior Instructors of the College of Piping, combining many years of personal teaching experiences and ideas. Some teachers may find that they might not agree with absolutely every detail in the work, but they may rest assured that most alternatives have been carefully considered. Further note: By Colin R. MacLellan After its first publication in 1953, the College of Piping’s Tutor 1 has easily become the most successful instructional book for the Highland Bagpipe, with sales now approaching the half million mark. Since the “Green Tutor” first appeared, there have been advancements in teaching techniques and digital technology, as well as the creation of other piping institutions and educational establishments. Seumas MacNeill in the 1970’s, along with John MacFadyen and John MacLellan, created the Institute of Piping, which was instrumentally responsible for the establishment of a system of piping examinations leading to the first appointments of full time salaried teachers of piping in Scotland’s educational system. In turn, the Institute developed into what is 3 now the Piping and Drumming Qualifications Board, (PDQB), an organisation which comprises the five main educational establishments in Scotland, and whose educational qualifications are now fully accredited by the Scottish Qualifications Authority. In 2017, the “Green Tutor” was edited, keeping faithfully to its original flow and integrity, in order to bring it into line with these PDQB/SQA guidelines. Students will now have fully explained lessons which will track the PDQB/SQA standards and examinations. It is of great advantage to pipers both in Scotland and other countries to gain the academic currency which comes along with these qualifications. Detailed information and syllabi are contained in an appendix at the end of the book. The tutor also incorporates passages of video examples and instruction for all 27 lessons. These are available for use free of charge on The National Piping Centre website: www.thepipingcentre.co.uk/learn/tutorbooks

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Highland bagpipe, widely considered 'Scotland's national instrument', is one of the most recognized icons of traditional music in the world. It is also among the least understood. But Scottish bagpipe music and tradition - particularly, but not exclusively, the Highland bagpipe - has enjoyed an unprecedented surge in public visibility and scholarly attention since the 1990s. A greater interest in the emic led to a diverse picture of the meaning and musical iconicism of the bagpipe in communities in Scotland and throughout the Scottish diaspora. This interest has led to the consideration of both the globalization of Highland piping and piping as rooted in local culture. It has given rise to a reappraisal of sources which have hitherto formed the backbone of long-standing historical and performative assumptions. And revivalist research which reassesses Highland piping's cultural position relative to other Scottish piping traditions, such as that of the Lowlands and Borders, today effectively challenges the notion of the Highland bagpipe as Scotland's 'national' instrument. The Highland Bagpipe provides an unprecedented insight into the current state of Scottish piping studies. The contributors – from Scotland, England, Canada and the United States – discuss the bagpipe in oral and written history, anthropology, ethnography, musicology, material culture and modal aesthetics. The book will appeal to ethnomusicologists, anthropologists, as well as those interested in international bagpipe studies and traditions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Music of the Great Highland Bagpipe By: Michael E. Akard The music of the Scottish Highland bagpipe has gone through many changes over the years. Classical bagpipe music, which is known as “piobaireachd,” has been played for centuries, but the sound of this music as performed today is very different from how it sounded in the past. In Music of the Great Highland Bagpipe, Michael E. Akard traces the history of piobaireachd from its earliest performances up to the present day. Composed of carefully researched material and presented in an easy to read style, any reader can learn about the major historical, political, social, and technological changes that have influenced, and continue to influence, pipers and pipe music.

Book excerpt: Meet Charlie McCandlewick, who sweeps the bogle creatures of the night out from under your bed, in this charming and humorous Scottish picture book. Charlie McCandlewick is a nightsweep. But he doesn't sweep chimneys - oh no. While children are tucked up safely in their beds, Charlie takes care of the bogle creatures of the night: the Nippers and Nabbers who hide under your bed, the Croakies who flap about in closets and the Whigmaleeries who wail at windows. But once they've been safely captured in his thistle-cloth bag, what does Charlie do with all the beasties? This brilliant story from author-illustrator Tim Archbold will become a firm favorite with children and parents alike. Narrated in a hilarious, quirky style, with wonderfully illustrated beasties and bogles waiting to jump off each page, it will captivate readers until the final surprise twist.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Highland Bagpipe Tutor Book 2 – Transition to Bagpipes builds on and develops the knowledge and techniques relating to playing the Highland bagpipe, which are introduced in Tutor Book 1. For many learner pipers the biggest hurdle they encounter is making the transition from playing tunes on the practice chanter to playing tunes on the bagpipe. Th ere is a lot to contend with, such as mastering the blowing technique, getting used to the bag and drones, building stamina, learning how to maintain and care for the instrument, tuning, reed manipulation and how to perform in public as a soloist or with other groups of pipers and musicians. This book follows the step-by-step approach of The Highland Bagpipe Tutor Book and each skill is taught in a logical, progressive manner using tried and tested methods gleaned from the combined experience of the teaching staff at The National Piping Centre. Of course there is no substitution for good teaching and so it is recommended that you use this book in tandem with lessons from an experienced teacher where possible. In offering this book we believe that there is much to be learned, not only for the learner piper but even for experienced players. It is a manual for good practice in terms of the care, maintenance and set-up of the bagpipe. The old adage “if a job is worth doing, then it is worth doing well” still holds true and those who apply this philosophy to the care, maintenance and tuning of the bagpipe will reap the benefits and enjoy the rewards of playing great music on a great instrument.
