Practice Chanter and Book Advice

[Crazy Dave]

Yes I agree with everything there.

I couldn't agree more about the Sandy Jones book.


I think Job One, before tunes or ornaments, is to be able to negotiate your way around the chanter, and be able to play any interval, any arpeggio, cleanly and fluently. There's plenty of time for ornaments later, once you know how to play the chanter.

Looks like I will be checking out the Sandy Jones book. I am familiar enough with interval and arpeggio from the piano that I should be able to focus on acquiring the skills. I expect that arpeggio will be a bit of a task. Thanks for the advice.
