What If There Were NO Bagpipes? (Dojo Conversations Episode 75)

What would your life look like if bagpipes had never been a part of them?
Pipers (and drummers) are a passionate bunch - so have you ever considered how different your life would be if you'd never picked up the pipes?
This week, Andrew and Jim explore a fun "what-if" scenario, reflecting on the personal impact of bagpipes on their social interactions, artistic expression, career paths - but even more shockingly, they consider how the absence of bagpipes could have altered history and popular music.
So tell us - how would your life be different if there were NO bagpipes? Leave a comment or send us an email: [e-mail]

Dojo University is the longest-running and most successful online bagpiping and drumming school in the world.
We teach thousands of students around the world how to play good music - mastering the art of learning and playing the bagpipes and drums in the process - in a highly accessible way that is completely unlike anything else you'll find online or in person, anywhere in the world.
We created Dojo U because we noticed that too many pipers and drummers were struggling out there in the world. Bagpiping should be a joyful experience, each and every day you pick up your instrument. If it's not, we strive to fix that before it's too late.
And whether you're a complete beginner, a parade or experienced player, a pipe major or drum sergeant, or a pro-level competitor... you can free yourself from musical frustration at Dojo U.
At Dojo U, we do things a little differently to how you may have approached learning to play the bagpipes before. One of the key reasons for our ongoing success is that we're always evolving, improving, and growing. We'd love to welcome you back and show you around!
