The Clarsach Collection 1, Elementary
This book is aimed at elementary level players, who might be working with a teacher or learning on their own, and are interested in Scottish tunes played in traditional style. The level is about Grades 1-3.
Variation and ornamentation are of prime importance in this music. This book is intended for inexperienced players, who would be advised to learn by imitation, which is the traditional way. But to note it in a book the best way possible, grace notes and fingerings are included to give the essential ‘Scottish accent’ as Karen's teacher, Alison Kinnaird puts it, to the music. The fingerings may well be different or slightly strange but try them out – they help the rhythms of the tunes and are as important as bowing is to a fiddler. 16 pgs.
