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
