There are various different types of pipe music for the various types of bagpipes.

As the Great Highland Bagpipe became a military instrument, so many of the tunes you hear bands play are marches, either Quick Marches or Slow Marches. The other tunes -the strathspeys, reels, hornpipes and jigs- are pipe tunes that have been derived from music for dancing, and to a lesser extent some tunes are versions of folk songs. Lately piping has evolved into scores in which other intruments and different tempos are involved: Symphonies.

The original music that was played on the Great Highland Bagpipe, long before it became a military instrument, is a style known as piobaireachd (pronounced "pee-brock"), which is the "classical form" of music still played by solo pipers today.
