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!!! π« 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! π

"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
What!! You can play Christmas songs on the bagpipes?!
Yes!
Carol of the Bells is one of those Christmas tunes I look forward to every year. The whole tune does not fit within the bagpipe chanters 9 notes. But there is still fun to be had playing parts of this Christmas song on the Bagpipes. Learn this version and check out the sheet music with my FREE Workshop.
If you are having fun piping, sign up for the workshop or join the Get Bagpipe Ready Monthly Membership (Go HERE for Membership details).
