Piano Playing for Scottish Country Dancing @ Lynne's Studio
Feb 28 @ 10:00 am – 3:00 pm

A one-day practical course for people with piano skills who would like to explore the role of the pianist in a Scottish Country Dance band. Not just for dancers – this is also your chance to bring your friend/family member into your world!

The course will cover:

  • The role of the piano in a SCD band
  • Bow-and-curtsey chords
  • Vamping styles for reels, jigs and strathspeys
  • The ‘shape’ of a SCD set of tunes
  • Next steps

Pianists don’t need to be top-flight soloists. This is a very different approach: most of the time we’re not playing the tune. Some music theory is useful, especially understanding major and minor chords. There will be plenty of practice time, pianos/headphones provided.

Bring: Lunch (tea/coffee provided); A digital piano/keyboard if you have one

Register: email Lynne Scott or phone 021 846596

Lynne is the RSCDS NZ Branch Music Adviser
