Bagpiper Starter Kit – Practice Chanter & “Green Book” Tutor
Begin your journey into Highland piping with the Bagpiper Starter Kit, a complete starter package designed to help new players build a strong foundation. This kit includes two essential learning tools: a practice chanter and a copy of The Highland Bagpipe Tutor Book One, the world-renowned piping guide often called “The Green Book.”
First published in 1952 by Seumas MacNeill and Thomas Pearston, this legendary tutor has helped shape generations of pipers and has sold over 500,000 copies worldwide. Known for its clear instruction and structured lessons, it guides students step-by-step from basic techniques on the practice chanter toward mastering the Great Highland Bagpipe.
The 2019 revised edition maintains the original clarity and teaching style that made the book famous while aligning with modern PDQB (Piping and Drumming Qualifications Board) guidelines.
To enhance learning, companion instructional videos are also available online through The National Piping Centre, offering helpful demonstrations that support the lessons in the book.
Perfect for beginners, students starting lessons, or anyone interested in exploring the rich musical heritage of Highland piping, the Bagpiper Starter Kit provides a trusted and time-tested way to start learning the bagpipes.
