This class is suitable for players of mouth or bellows-blown small pipes pitched in ‘A’ who wish to develop their technique and repertoire. There will be encouragement to learn tunes by ear and an emphasis on playing in sessions. Particular attention will be paid to smallpipe embellishment and adornment of tunes and there will be discussion of the principles of harmony.
Tutor: John Dickens
