2021 Block 1 Live Teaching

2021 Block 1 Live Teaching

Following a question about which harmony notes Stewart was playing in Kemp’s Jig during our Week 5 play-through, Stewart has written them out for those who are interested. You will see there are some double stopped grace notes, and also a couple of melodic variations. The repeats are written out in full to show how the harmony and melody can vary each time – just if you fancy it!

The tune will be taught by ear during the Live Teaching calls beginning on Weds 13th January. Have a listen in advance if you can as this really helps with learning by ear. The notation is available here for you to print for reference, but trust the teaching method and have a go by ear, as it’s a different learning process from reading the notation. There will be one other new tune this block to add to the collection below, and this will be introduced in a week or two. We will also be playing through other tunes from the repertoire (see below) as the block progresses.
