My name is Sean Patrick Regan, and I think backwards: degree #1 was in music education, and degree #2 was in music performance. When teaching, I incorporate methods from the broader world of music ed. into the methods taught to me by some of the most effective traditional music instructors in American, Canadian, and Scottish history. When performing, I try to show audiences something new.

For educational purposes: If we always practice at the same tempo it can have the effect of locking us up, mentally, so we're not flexible to the fluid nature of tempos in live performance. These four videos (60bpm, 70bpm, 80bpm, and 90bpm) are meant to help drummers develop greater fluency in their playing.

What’s the first song!
That made the hair on my neck stand up, beautiful
fantastic what chanter reed are you playing
Thanks, I believe at that time I was playing a polypenco McCallum with a Chesney reed.
@@SPRBagpiper thanks for that
This video was hugely beneficial when I was learning this tune for competition. Thanks for posting.
My pleasure, Andrew. Thanks for letting me know!
Great song
Beautifully played, my friend! You're an inspiration to me!
Thank you again, I am glad you enjoyed the tunes.
Wonderfully played, my friend! You're a real inspiration to me! I would love to meet you one day!
I appreciate the encouragement; I can use all the help I can get.
Beautifully played, my friend! You're an inspiration to me!
Beautifully played my friend! You're a great inspiration to me!!
Thank you, you are very kind.
Ending on a low G is pretty brutal That’s a sweet practice chanter!
What an interesting way of phrasing things. I am a fan of David Lindsey's practice chanters, as well as of David, himself. Lindsey Bagpipes Co. has a Facebook page where he displays photos of the processes he has undergone to create some beautiful pieces.
💪💪💪👏👏
Good Job.
Yes👍👍👍👍👍
Very great 👍👍👍
Well done Patrick !!!
Fabulous!
Where can I get the sheet music for bagpipes so I can play this wonderful tune?
I came up with that one by ear and have not yet put it to paper, so for now the recording is the best guide I can recommend. If I ever put it to paper, the occasion will almost certainly be marked on my Facebook page: facebook.com/sprbagpiper/.
That’s a very good way to find a leak 👍
Could you put up the notations for the violin,beautiful tune,❤❤❤
I am glad you enjoyed it! The tune, and many other lovely pieces, can be found in Scots Guards Volume 2. The Scots Guards series consists of three volumes, each with several hundred tunes for bagpipe, some written by Scottish Fiddle player J. Scott Skinner, and they can usually be found for sale online for between $30-$70 depending on whether they're new or second-hand. You may already know this, but music for the Scottish Bagpipe is written in a range that quite suits the violin, primarily making use of the D, A, and E strings for melody, which Scottish Fiddle players then use to their advantage toward the end of droning and other self-harmonizing. The volumes can be used as sources of material for violin, provided... 1. You are able to maintain melody lines while either ignoring or appropriately adapting and incorporating the grace notes and embellishments (I would recommend reaching out to a Scottish Fiddle player, such as Dr. Melinda Crawford (youtube.com/@Strathmon), for more specific guidance on that subject), and 2. You remember that tunes written for the Scottish Bagpipe often do not include key signatures in the sheet music because, being a diatonic instrument, it is understood that C and F are always C# and F# unless otherwise explicitly specified; tunes are assumed to be written in D Major, or any of its relative modes, whether or not the sharps are indicated.
@@SPRBagpiper Thank you so much for your time, information, I'm a very late beginner. but it's a new lease of life for me. I will take on board all your suggestions, I just love the scottish music.Thank you again.☘☘☘
Amazing tunes, would you be able to post a link to somewhere I could purchase the sheet music for this particular setting of high drive? Cheers.
Hi Charlie, I am glad you enjoyed it. I adapted the tune back to the pipes by ear while learning it from a fiddle player who had taken some artistic licenses with their own arrangement. Only afterward, when I discovered that it is one of Gordon Duncan's, did I find that I was apparently following in something of a tradition with the tune: the original was only published as having 2 parts, and the opinion of some is that Gordon improvised parts 3 and 4 in performance, with subsequent printed versions being transcriptions of his performance recordings. I know that a version of it may be found in the book "Gordon Duncan's Tunes," but I am not aware of this particular setting having yet been put to paper.
@SPRBagpiper thank you for the response, will follow this up, pity about the final two measures not being put to paper as that final measure is awesome. Cheers.
The reel version is set in gordon Duncan’s first book
Use some tape on the B, it will make it flat and sound much better!
I had a blast listing to you play. Thank you for playing these great tunes and posting them for us to listen to. Great sound!
Thanks for saying so, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Great!
Nice!!!! Really enjoyed that! It's a difficult tune. Hard to believe my then grade II band competed with it back in around 1973. Detroit St. Andrews. I also listened to your recording of King's Taxes. The PM of that band, Dave Martin, maybe you know him, used to compete with that tune in open (Ontario) often over years and seemed to always place with it no matter who else was playing.
One of my favs..an actually think i prefere you playing it! Nice one dude...was awsome!
Used your video as a guide and picked-up a 2nd place! Thanks for the great example to follow!
Thanks for letting me know, and congratulations!
I’m 7 years late, but that’s the spicy mchaggis jig you played.
"At the end of 7 years, one born to it will stand at the start of knowledge..." XD better nate than lever. There's a tune with your name on it in this one: ua-cam.com/video/RHXRfy-eHIQ/v-deo.html
The C to grip on E is just wow!!!!!
I just saw and listened to this long awesome medley I freakin love it!!
Amazing skill
Thanks for posting this..piper and I are playing it for Veteran's Day observance. I'm a snare drummer and the standard 4-4 massed bands snare score wasn't cuttin' it for this tune. Wrote a new score and used this to practice it worked fine. Bookmarked this video for future reference. Cheers!
Its clear you mob dont have over head fans in your houses.
how do i become one of your students
That depends on what you wish to learn. I will be happy to read more if you send a message via my website.
some great tunes they all have some good tempo well played
a good set of finger work well played
where can I find the music notation for the hornpipe version of the Cameron quick step
Send me a message via my website, and I will send you a copy.
I dont know if u still remember me, i am your student from MMA, is nice to see u again
Wang
@@王联想 Hi Wang, nice to hear from you! I hope you are well.
Bravo!
Hello Sean, is it possible, you have for me the notes? Thanks and greetings from south Bavaria
Hello Xx Xx, I have not had a moment to produce them, but if you send a message via my website, asking about them, I will put you on the list for when/if I do!
Theres some proper steady blowing going on there!
They are all good. Blair D is spectacular and Craigvenow is better than that. I may even give it a stab though at 82 yrs, i may need to borrow your fingers.
Absolutely wonderful.
Piping of the highest order. A pure pleasure to listen to. Thank you.
Thank you, Jim. You are very kind.
Absolutely incredible!
By another one-of-a-kind piper. Congratulations on your Carnegie Mellon Masters Degree
Woooow!
Lovely sounding pipe! Would you be able to comment on the bag type? Any MCS used… drone maker and reeds… so well balanced/steady! 👍😊
You are very kind. In this video I am playing a Bannatyne Hybrid bag with Dri-flo system, Crisler blowpipe, and Gibson split stock. The pipes are Robertsons with Wygent drone reeds.
Very nice, nice pibroch embellishment warm up too, good idea. I might try that myself! Lovely tunes and tone too, what is your setup if I may ask?
That's very kind, thank you. I find a couple of embellishments at the start can scare my fingers into straightening up and flying (mostly) right. The set in this video are Robertsons with Wygent reeds, a Crisler blowpipe, Gibson split stock, an extended small Bannatyne Hybrid bottom-zip bag with a Bannatyne Dri-Flo system, and a blackwood McCallum band-style chanter with a McPhee reed.
Great piping- jigs played at the correct tempo, unlike the madness we hear from so many “folk “ musicians these days who think it’s clever to play at breakneck speed. This is fabulous stuff.
Thank you, Jim. ...though, I also enjoy opening up the throttle every now and then!
Brilliant
