    Category: Commandment 1: Immersion

    Your environment is the single greatest correlate to your success as a piper. Create a rich environment for learning, and you'll drastically increase your odds of success. We believe, for every one hour of "active" practice, you should be "passively" immersing yourself in bagpipe music, thought, and culture. When in doubt, use this page for inspiration.
