Big or Small Gracenotes?

A common question for pipers concerns the size of gracenotes. Should your gracenotes be as small as possible? As big as possible? How big should they be?

If you look around online, you'll find lots conflicting information on this topic. But if you watch and listen to top players, you'll see they all play their gracenotes the same way.

Check out this new video BagpipeLessons.com Secrets of top Players: Gracenotes.

BagpipeLessons.com Celebrates Eleven Years of Success!

Thank you for your continued support of BagpipeLessons.com.  This week marks eleven years since I started the site.  My goal was to create the world's best site for information on learning to play the pipes.  In 2003, BagpipeLessons.com was the first site to offer webcam lessons.  In 2006, we launched the incredibly popular Tune Lesson Downloads, a complete learning solution to help learn tunes faster than ever before. Earlier this year, I created Video Lesson Downloads with high-quality video demonstrations of all the basics of bagpipe fingering, including the Learn the Pipes series for pipers starting at Day 1.  

Check out the complete list of ninety-two Tune and Video Lesson Downloads -- all available for instant download individually or in discounted multi-packs.

BagpipeLessons.com has become the world's premier source for information on learning the pipes.  For beginners to advanced players, the site has grown to offer something for pipers of all levels and interests.  As high-speed internet and webcams have become more popular, so have the webcam lessons by Skype.  Now pipers around the world can receive individualized top-level instruction regardless of where you live.   

Learn more about face-to-face lessons using Skype and a webcam.

It has never been easier to keep in touch with other pipers and stay connected.
