Pipe Up! Learn how to develop creative arrangements and perform them by using devices such as intros, bridges and “outros”. Pipe tunes are such an integral part of traditional Irish and Scottish music. You will get some useful ideas on how to expand your Scottish repertoire and how to select tunes from non-harp instrumental collections from William, who not only plays harp but the pipes as well. Tunes will be taught by ear. Bring a recording device (or just use your cellphone!). ALL ARE WELCOME!
