*In May 2018, the National Piping Centre incorporated the College of Piping. The famous "green book", College of Piping Tutor Book 1, has a new cover for 2019.
This tutor book has been the workhorse of piping instructors since it was first published in 1952.
Part 1 covers all the basic fingering, embellishments, and some basic music theory.
You can find videos that go along with the tutor book here.
