Phase two...

Phase two is now commencing...

Enough feedback has been received to make decisions about substantial developments to the site. 

In the immediate future, music, together with midi files at various tempi and with varying levels of subdivision in the beats to help guide the learner will be added together with a list of suggested exercises to help the learner make maximum progress.

This will be useful not only for the soloist but also, in response to requests, for band training. The band page will be given a first repertoire covering a year of basics plus a year of first performance material. If there is demand further material will be considered.

Three sets of first March, Strathspey and Reels will be prepared to bring beginners up to an intermediate level. These will be presented, as suggested above, with midi files in varying formats for slow practice and suggestion sheets about what to train before starting them. These will be equally useful to a pipe band in rehearsing outside of band time.

The intention is to give the learner as much as they can do by themselves so that they are able to use time they can find with a teacher as productive as possible.

Please make yourself known to the author and project leader, Lindsay Davidson (email: lindsaydavidson(at)lindsaydavidson(dot)co(dot)uk) and give your viewpoint. We also need more volunteers to form a pilot group receiving regular (free) lessons via the internet.
