Mission Statement
Our mission is
not to replace traditional piping instruction but to enhance them through offering
always-available online Bagpipe instruction and materials. Since there are no geographic
and time-zone limitations, LivePiper.com© can
deliver superior quality piping lessons to anybody around the world.
Traditional Bagpipe instruction is
irreplaceable, the personal contact and attention, and the acute listening in the acoustic
environment that is so essential for the Bagpipes. LivePiper.com© encourages each of its students to find a good Pipe teacher and study with
him or her.
Online Bagpiping instruction is the future
of a well-rounded Bagpipe player and a successful beginner. What it provides is various
and accurate Bagpipe material, Bagpipe practice tools, music theory, different
styles, different levels of playing - all at one place. Even more importantly, it provides
access to excellent Bagpipe teachers online that are able to teach various Piping styles
to the student over the Internet, regardless of where the student is located. This is
especially beneficial to students in remote areas and with difficulties reaching a
traditional teacher.
Online and traditional instruction
should work hand-in-hand in helping students achieve their potentials as BagPipe players.
Instructors
All of our instructors have been
playing Pipes for many years. Some are current and former PM's of some great bands. During
your lesson, you will receive live text and audio assistance. This means you will be
actually speaking to your personal instructor for your hour long session in "real
time" He or she will help you decide what areas of your play need attention and help
lay out a good practice routine that will get you to the level of play you desire.
You will be under no obligation
to continue your lessons but I'M sure once you try Live Piper©, you"ll like
it!
The only costs are the hourly
rates that you work out with one of the instructors. The program is free, this site and
its data bases are free. So come on and join us!
