HIGH ‘G’ DOUBLING

PO POLSKU KLIKN₯Ζ TUTAJ

This is slightly different from the other Doublings.  From any note,  make High ‘G’ and double it by simply striking your G finger on and off the chanter quickly.  From High ‘G’,  this is just a strike.  As you will see,  coming from High ‘A’ is odd,  and indeed does not double the note. It does however serve the same musical purpose - to make the note stand out.

Order of Events:

1.         Note - ‘B’ in example 28.

2.         Change to High ‘G’.

3.         Double High ‘G’ with a strike (see above).

4.         End on High ‘G’.

 From High ‘A’ (example 29):

 1.         High ‘A’.

2.         Change to ‘F’,  remembering to move your thumb last.

3.         Lift High ‘G’ finger - do this as soon as you can hear and feel the ‘F’.
