If you listen to more of these top bands - http://www.bbc.co.uk/events/ewjg9r - what are some of your favorites? 

This is really stellar piping ... what is it about PM Stuart Liddell's musicality that's unique (I keep thinking and asking myself about)? 

Happy piping, :)

Scott

It's already so easy to play with these Grade 1 bands on Internet video ... 

How to enhance this digitally for learning? 


From my blog post yesterday: 


"Hi R,

...

I'm piping with the WUaS Great Highland Bagpipe wiki page videos just now, and in harmony using the book "Seconds from the Edge." 

(I was just playing 'in' the Edinburgh Castle esplanade ... where I played as a 17 year old while attending Fettes College in Edinburgh in 1976-'77, playing in the Fettes' band :) ... 

Can you imagine doing this in the Oculus Rift (digital goggles), or similar, as they becomes more and more interactive, movie realistic, and for learning purposes? :)

Try playing "Green Hills of Tyrol" and "When the Battle is Over" in the Edinburgh Tattoo here -

Fanfare and March in

WUaS's wiki pages are proving (for me) to be a great way to personalize (my own) learning :) Feel wiki-free to engage them for this as well. 

Happy piping,

Scott
