Master The Irish Bagpipes
Ireland’s indigenous bagpipes, the Uilleann Pipes, take their name from the Gaelic word for elbow (uilleann), alluding to the air-bag and bellows which the elbows operate. Air is pumped from the bellow into the bag and then from the bag into a reed in the chanter. Piping is considered a very important part of the Irish tradition. The solo playing of the pipes has a special place of its own in the tradition and to a large extent developed separately from the rest of the tradition.

If you have a handle on the basics of piping and want to push the boundaries of your ability then this course will be a real treat for you. If you’re new to the pipes, head over to our Uilleann Pipes Basics Course to get you started.
By the end of the course you will have really honed your piping technique, a crucial foundation on which to begin to build a repertoire. The course has 13 lessons.
