piobaireachd society
It has collected the available piobaireachd MSS and from these and the knowledge of the existing experts and players published 15 books with the piobaireachd, written in staff notation accompanied by notes on the sources. The Society has also published the Kilberry Book of Ceol Mor by Archibald Campbell - a collection of 112 of the better-known tunes. There are notes, separately published as Sidelights and Further Sidelights that tell of Kilberry's own famous teachers and what they taught him. It has also published one book of modern piobaireachd. More recently it has been concerned with publishing important MSS or books with explanatory notes to make these more available to students of piobaireachd.

small piper podcast
I started this blog back in 2005 - 16 years ago and over time have created a flute blog and a nyckelharpa teaching blog. I’ve now decided to amalgamate the three sites into one teaching website and put most of the material behind a paywall.

european drum major
This site is aimed at Drum Majors worldwide from all bands and I hope that you will all want to contribute to it. There is deliberately no forum or chat room, because these generally revert to gossip, rumour, etc. and that is not what this site is for. I am aiming to solve all the questions I get asked from around the world and produce a sensible, useful site for you all to use and enjoy. By the way the picture is a ‘sketch’ done from some of the DMs at the Edinburgh Tattoo, a Salute to Australia.
