Opener: Cha Til MacCrimmon, Reel before slow air: Kalabakan

Yes! Go for it. 😊👍

Thank you. I am the piper (as pipe major of our band) and the drummer is in our band and she takes snare lessons from Blair Brown

FIRST….pipers do not play songs, they play tunes, always tunes…..as in Tunes of Glory, an old movie that deserves watching. ( Calling them tunes risks getting hit by lightening or a flying haggis.) SECOND…..lovely lasses, excellent playing. Astonishing to this ancient piper that grade 4 has risen to this level of competence. Grade 4 in my day would now probably be classed as grade 47.

This 2/4 march is called “Carradale Bay”

Finely done! Outstanding TUNE and excellent execution. I’ve enjoyed and learned from watching your tutorials. I’m teaching a few students of various ages and abilities and have picked up some pointers from your videos. I’d love to chat with you sometime about how you started your band.

Hi John: sounds good. How about you email me at melissa@melissabautzbagpiping.com

Hi Frank: I’m about to post a guidance video for you about this topic. (I think I accidentally called you Franklin instead of Frank though!) 😬Sorry about that!

I’m glad that’s helpful! Thank you for leaving a comment.

@@melissabautz2346 Thanks 👍

Thank you!

You would need to purchase a practice chanter first. You can get one from Henderson Imports or Higgins Ltd. or Reel Pipes. Then you need a teacher. In-person lessons are your best options, with a qualified teacher. If you don't live near an instructor, you can try following some online instructors on CZcams. Neil Clark (Falkirk Piping) is very good. My channel has some beginner playlists with lessons. There are others who do online lessons as well.

Fantastic!!! Well done.

Hooray. I’m glad this is helpful.

This tune is in the Scots Guards Book 2.

Thanks for the visit. This video was made for a specific student who needed the reps. Not everyone needs or wants that, however. You are in that group and I totally appreciate that. Best to you in your piping endeavors.

I needed the repeat, thank you

@@melissabautz2346 I, honestly, thought my comment was obvious! When playing bagpipes the sound doesn't stop when you breathe.

@@bobpert4030 Oh I see. Yes, the chanter is just a means to practice fingering technique. Its sound is a far cry from the bagpipes. Indeed.

Exactly and well played!❤❤

Comparing practise chanter recordings with such of pipes is absolutely nonsense! Obviously that wasn‘t the intention…..Thank you for your recording, which is a help to watch the !👍

For the music, please email me here: mlpwyo1@gmail.com

and there there is the regular America doooot coooome

thanks so much for your help! Mitch piping in the Florida Keys.

Hello, For now I only post instructional videos for my students and pipe band. You may want to check Neil Clark’s channel (Falkirk Piping) for “Erin’s Green Shore”. Try this: czcams.com/video/agdGlhJUKE0/video.htmlsi=0jmfr5TpzxONJmt-

That's fantastic, Peter. I'm glad to know this recording is helpful.

Thanks. I’m glad these recordings are useful.

Hello. I have a website www.melissabautzbagpiping.com. I am currently teaching a limited number of students. However, right now I do not have any slots available for new students. The videos I post on this CZcams channel are for my current students and pipe band members. I do have a playlist for beginners that may be useful to you. czcams.com/play/PLaFnwaEkxMJLu_GqRhKA-4lfxJOjTtnPM.html&si=MIwY-pBmI5d3HUkq
