Northumbrian Music
Bewick was fond of the music of Northumberland, and of the Northumbrian smallpipes in particular. He had wished to encourage the Northumbrian smallpipes, and to support the piper John Peacock, so he encouraged Peacock to teach pupils to become masters of this kind of music. One of these pupils was Thomas's own son, Robert, whose surviving manuscript tunebooks are an important picture of a piper's repertoire in the 1820s.
