A Bagpiper is a person who can play a list of tunes on the bagpipe. The goal of bagpipe lessons is to become an accomplished player. That means that this person can play a list of tunes, develop their own music and maintain a bagpipe. This book can teach anyone how to do the musical things. The next book will talk about bagpipe maintenance. Regardless of whether or not you are a musician, you can learn to become a bagpiper/musician. The right program along with some effort on your part can make this a reality in 2-5 years.

Combining newspaper and manuscript evidence from the pipers themselves with a range of historical sources, the author harnesses the insights of the practical player to those of the historian and provides a fresh account of the players and their musical traditions, which have previously been the subject of much myth-making.
