On this page you will find audio and - in some cases - sheet music for some of the tunes I teach. This is a service to my students. If you are not a student and you find something of interest here, feel free to enjoy it. Tunes are played on the practice chanter at conservative or slow tempo with a metronome for reference. I have played the technique open and deliberate in a way that I feel like new pipers most benefit from playing as they develop muscle memory of each type of embellishment.
