Piper's Dojo Audio Experience

Are the RSPBA’s prescribed tunes just tough? Or are they trying to tell us something? This week, Jim and Andrew dive into a juicy listener-submitted topic: the sometimes frustrating, always challenging world of the RSPBA prescribed tunes list. Are some of these tunes meant to weed bands out? We explore the theories, the difficulties, and the real reasons these tunes exist. From choosing the right music for your band’s skill level to balancing challenge with enjoyment, they unpack it all, complete with cooking analogies, personal stories, and a few cheeky conspiracy theories along the way. Whether you're a band leader or just curious about the logic behind tune lists, this one’s got food for thought. Got a topic you’d like us to cover in a future episode?
