Learn 3 Scottish tunes

with Ed Pearlman

Thursdays, 7pm EST, March 12, 19, 26

All three tunes are in A minor alternating with G major – what we call the classic “double tonic” of a lot of Celtic music.

All three have a similar structure and some similar note patterns, so you’ll get a good grip on this type of tune.

• The first is a powerful slow tune, sort of a slow strathspey from the 17th century.
• The second is a popular strathspey; if you don’t know it, it will be useful to play in sessions, and if you are already familiar with it, you’ll learn to play it better.
• The third is a great old dramatic reel.

Here’s an audio sample of the three tunes!

Learning materials for all three tunes available now through April 26.

Direct registration for nonmembers $20 (or your currency).
