Dance to the Piper: The Highland Bagpipe in Nova Scotia
Barry Shears examines the history and traditions of Gaelic-speaking pipers whose emigration to Nova Scotia ensured that the role and music of Highland piping not only survived, but thrived for a long time. Dance to the Piper provides historical background and provides numerous biographical sketches of key figures in the Nova Scotia tradition and analyzes why this cultural reality endured in Nova Scotia. It also examines the social, economic and cultural developments which altered the status, role and perception of the piper in society, and their eventual decline. Shears shows an abiding respect for those tradition bearers and Dance to the Piper represents more than twenty years of research, interviews and recordings of the last of the traditional-style pipers in Nova Scotia.

The College of Piping Highland Bagpipe Tutor (Part 1): A Visual Guide for the Beginning Piper with Instruction By Seumas Macneill
“This visual aid for the piping student will be a welcome tool for those who wish to take up the Great Highland Bagpipe. It follows closely the instructions in the College of Piping Tutor – Part 1, and should be used in conjunction with that successful publication. However, for those who have a different Tutor, you will find many advantages in the video as it shows clearly the proper fingering exercises necessary to the making of a good piper. The instructor, Seumas MacNeill, principal of the College of Piping and editor of the Piping Times, is shown instructing College students in the proper finger movements for the practice chanter – from the basic scale through the various grips and doublings. With diligent practice, the beginner should be able to play some simple and time honoured tunes such as Highland Laddie, Scots Wha’ Hae, Brown Haired Maiden, The Carles wi’ the Breeks and others in a short period of time.”
