Foreword

Susy Klinger – Author

Susy Klinger has been studying Scottish music since 2003 and regularly travels to the College of Piping in Glasgow for private lessons. In 2012, Susy began lessons with Willie McCallum, one of the world's best bagpipers. He is a regular guest teacher at the Bagpipe School.

Very early in her bagpipe career Susy took part in competitions and achieved great success in Scotland. She was overall winner in Piobaireachd of the CLASP in grade 1 (competitions for amateur bagpipers in Scotland) and achieved 3rd place (out of 30 players) at the Archie Kenneth Quaich in Edinburgh in 2013. These are just a few results in a long list of prizes she won internationally.

Susy Klinger played with a renowned bagpipe band in Germany for several years before joining Glasgow Skye Association Pipe Band in Scotland for a few seasons. At the time, the band was very successful in grade 2 and won many competitions. During that time, Susy was able to gain an enormous amount of experience in all areas of bagpipe playing.
