Instructional Videos

The WUSPBA Northern Branch produces a series called “In the Zoom Where It Happens” in which they interview world-class pipers who share their knowledge of the piobaireachd including insights as well as specific tips and strategies. Each one of these interviews can be considered a master class not only in the specific tune presented but in the piobaireachd itself and essential for all pipers who want to improve their skills. (All links are alphabetical by piper’s last name.)
