SOS Cornemuse
SOS Cornemuse mainly deals with the 16" (G) semi closed fingering bagpipe. However, don't hesitate to contact me should you have another type of bagpipe.
I offer you my 20 year teaching experience, with the promise to pay attention to your remarks, your requests and your challenges. The lessons are for all levels, even for the complete beginners. The whole wrapped up in seriousness and humour.
The lessons are made of video tutorials:
- FREE: tutorials concerning the technique of the instrument (how to get a note out of it) and about the ornementation (vibrato, rappels, roll etc..) are free (see far under this page)
- COMPLETE BEGINNER: never played the pipes before? I propose a "beginner's kit" made of 10 video tutorials to guide you from the first blow to the first tune. Contact me for more d'info: deckodeck@gmail.com
- TUTORIALS on DEMAND: tutorials concerning tunes, how to play them, how to ornament them, how to harmonize and ornement: see the list here below. To get a demo course: send me an e-mail (deckodeck@gmail.com). If you are interested in one of those tutorials, you have different options:
SOS ECONOMY: 3€ for the scores
SOS COMFORT: 12€ for the scores+ vdo tutorial showing hot to play the tune
SOS PREMIUM: 21€ for the scores+ vdo tutorial + a karaoke track to help you practice + my feedback on YOUR video of YOU playing the tune
