6 months ago
Tapping Your Foot is essential to keeping timing,
making sure grace-notes fall properly on the beat and for maintaining the shape of the tune. Its like a Metronomic Stomp.

Lament for the Old Sword
10 months ago
I’m really enjoying a Ceol Mhor piece called
“Lament for the Old Sword”.
Its really stirring and gradually becomes more complex in each part
I’m really encouraged to learn it very precisely and feeling im using all the techniques i’ve used to analyse and prepare my band tunes for performance.
Its got some neat grace notes including the Crunluath which is an advanced Taorluath of sorts. I’ll need some lessons to perfect it i’m sure.
