Let's Get Bagpipe Ready!

Hi! I'm Alec Chisholm, and when I learned the bagpipes at 9 years of age I always hated doing those boring chanter exercises with all their mundane repetition.

AAAARRRRGGG!!! 😫 I just wanted to learn some tunes!

Now I help beginner bagpipers using my FUN, quick results method based on teaching proper bagpipe technique WHILE learning tunes. Having fun builds motivation and consistent practice which makes you a better piper! 😁

"Learning with Get Bagpipe Ready has been a pure joy! I truly appreciate Alec and his teaching methods. I've tried other online learning platforms but I found I wasn't learning tunes quick enough. I just wanted to learn to play tunes, not compete, be judged or even be perfect. I'm in my 50s and I've always wanted to learn the pipes. Alec presents the easiest way to learn and I am truly thankful for Get Bagpipe Ready!"
Eric, Bagpiper

Get Bagpipe Ready FREE Sheet Music Demos of Popular Tunes for Bagpipers Old Joe Clark Demo

Old Joe Clark Demo

Old Joe Clark was the first Bluegrass fiddle song I learned on the 5 string banjo! This is not a traditional Scottish song but It's a great-sounding tune on both the Scottish small pipes and the great highland bagpipes. This Reel is excellent for beginner or intermediate bagpipers who want to give their audience a good foot-stopin', thigh-slappin' bagpipe performance! But that's not saying more experienced pipers can't enjoy this tune as well!
