We have just added 333 more music files to our website. This brings the total number to 1,141, including 122 Piobaireachds. This recent addition includes tunes from all the categories – Marches, Strathspeys, Jigs, Hornpipes, etc. I got serious about my playing when I was 19 or 20. My teacher, Jimmy McMillan, encouraged me to start recording my practice sessions to help me hear and improve my playing. Recording became a habit and I have pretty much kept the recorder running for over 30 years. I still have hundreds of more recordings to put on our site at some point. This recent update was really a lot of fun for me because they were mostly compositions by many of our great composers:
- John MacColl
- Peter R. MacLeod
- Peter MacLeod Jr.
- D.C. Mather
- John MacLellan, Dunoon
- P/M William Ross
- William Fergusson
- P/M Donald Shaw Ramsay
- And many others
Recordings are inexpensive – All light music is $3, Piobaireachds are $5. You receive a recording of me playing the tune on the pipes plus the written music in PDF and Bagpipe Music Writer format. Also, you receive a 50% credit towards the cost of chanter reeds or other recordings on our site. Hope you enjoy.
