What if you could have a bagpipe teacher on demand – anytime, anywhere?
This week, Andrew and Jim road test one of the most exciting innovations at the Dojo yet: the brand new Interactive Player.
Designed to feel like having a teacher by your side 24/7, this powerful tool puts total control of your learning in your hands.
They walk through how it works – toggling between video and sheet music, looping tricky spots, slowing things down, adding a metronome, and building up speed for tough passages to help pipers learn smarter, faster, and more musically.
Along the way, they chat about the dream of on-demand teaching, share a demo of “Banjo Breakdown,” and talk about what’s coming next as the library grows (hint: more tunes, more instruments, more inspiration).
If you’ve ever wished your practice sessions could be more focused and more fun – this episode will show you how.
