Hey everyone!
Just a short note to apologise that the November lesson isn't online yet - I'm waiting for my new computer to arrive, but the current snowstorm in Scotland has delayed all deliveries by over a week so far! Fingers crossed it will arrive soon, and then I'll get it straight up online!

Month 2: October 2010: The Night we had the Goats
Hello!
I hope you're all having a good October! I've been off on tour with my band The Outside Track this month, and we finished off at the fantastic Celtic Colours in Cape Breton. I picked up a load of great tunes whilst over there, so I thought I would teach one of them this month. This is a great reel in G major called The Night We Had the Goats.
Enjoy!
p.s. - if anyone needs the dots, a fairly close transcription is available here: http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/1393

September 2010: Lady Sutherland's Reel
Hello!
Well for my first post I've decided to teach one of my favourite tunes, a Scottish reel called Lady Sutherland's. Hope you enjoy learning it! Please feel free to share it with other harp players and friends, and spread the word about this blog!
The music, with left hand arrangement is available in the following publication:

Hello and welcome
Hello and welcome to the Celtic Harp Tune of the Month Blog.
In my travels around the world teaching and performing I'm struck by just how many people don't have any access to a teacher on a regular basis. This blog aims to help cater for those people who need some inspiration/new tunes/tips on technique etc.
My plan is to post an instructional video each month, teaching you a tune by breaking it down into its component phrases, and then putting it all together again. You'll improve your ability to learn by ear, and expand your repertoire at the same time!
Enjoy!!
