Playing bagpipes, like most instruments, means playing a
variety of tunes. Bagpipes are one of a few instruments that demand to be
played memorized. This can be difficult for some, easier for others, I’ve
covered how I memorize tunes before so I won’t write on that topic today.
Before doing a search on the internet, I started with a list of what either I
play, what friends say they are requested to play, what our band or other local
bands plays on a regular basis. How does one then stop at 25 tunes when there
are literally dozens of great tunes which could be included? I then spent some
time validating what I know is played with a search on most popular tunes
yielded a very good list of tunes. The tunes listed are not is a specific
order, but represent wonderful classics pipers should be familiar with. Another
day I’ll post what tunes my friends and I are working to perfect for
performance. Enjoy!
