Beginning Piping Book for an experienced musician
I'm wondering if there is a beginning piping book that caters to people with existing musical knowledge. I’d like a book that instructs more specifically and uses musical terminology.
For a little back info: I'm currently working with the "Green Book".
The nearest piping teacher I can find is 200 miles away. So, I'm pretty much on my own in this.
I'm a classically trained musician, a public school music teacher, and have a collegiate music degree. So, I would consider myself quite proficient in reading music.
I play at least a dozen different instruments. But recorder and penny whistle are the only two woodwinds. Though, 25 years of trumpet is helping a lot with embrasureand lip stamina.
In addition, I tend to be a pretty visual learner. Is there a good DVD or video series that is better than others?
It seems to be going pretty well so far. Now if I can only figure out how to get my blasted pinkie finger to do what I command it to do! Lol
I tried to ask these things at the Bob Dunsire form. But, it’s been a week since I created an account and I’m still waiting on a moderator to activate it.
