Mastering "Scotland The Brave" - * Free Tune Download

In this episode of “The Pipe Box”, Gold Medallist, Jim McGillivray breaks down the rhythmic and expressive nuances of how to master playing "Scotland The Brave" (or in Scottish Gaelic: Alba an Àigh) - on both the practice chanter and on the Great Highland Bagpipe.
* Download the (free) "Scotland The Brave" sheet music (PDF) - pipetunes.ca/scotland-the-brave and play along with Jim as he shows how to generate rhythm when playing this challenging but rewarding 4/4 March bagpipe classic. The difficulty level of "Scotland The Brave" is intermediate. You'll need technical competency performing Doublings, Grips, Taorluaths, and D-Throws to successfully play this tune.
Fun Fact: "Scotland The Brave" was voted second (only to "Flower of Scotland") in a (2006) online poll to determine Scotland's favourite unofficial anthem. It is also likely the tune most associated with the bagpipes themselves.
