It's a big subject, and one where I particularly feel that a picture is going to be worth a thousand words. However, I will try to get something useful up ASAP. I am planning to do an instructional DVD on this, as I feel it is a strong point of my teaching and an often neglected subject.<BR/><BR/>Watch this space!!<BR/><BR/>KrisKris Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07591618706184573482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34418214.post-1159563345454923932006-09-29T13:55:00.000-07:002006-09-29T13:55:00.000-07:00Great to have found your blog.

I will certainly make this blog a regular visit!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the links to scottish tunes (been struggling to find any) and the useful reminders about aspects of practice.<BR/><BR/>I think the main issue I have is with the bellows, should I systematically "change direction" at the end of a phrase or can I be a bit looser about controlling the air flow? Any tips would be much appreciated.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for blogging and being open to beginners!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34418214.post-1159172498001166982006-09-25T01:21:00.000-07:002006-09-25T01:21:00.000-07:00Hi "anonymous"I think a lot of people are vaguely ...Hi "anonymous"<BR/><BR/>I think a lot of people are vaguely dissatisfied with just learning tune after tune - it's not very empowering to be hand fed like this. It's the old "give a man a fish vs. teach a man to fish" isn't it! <BR/><BR/>I have been away the past few days, but now I am back there will be new items on the blog this week. Perhaps you would like to reply and suggest a topic such as right hand or left hand or bellows or whatever. <BR/><BR/>KrisKris Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07591618706184573482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34418214.post-1159169319970648262006-09-25T00:28:00.000-07:002006-09-25T00:28:00.000-07:00I understand where your coming from re: the teachi...I understand where your coming from re: the teaching pure technique, something i have never really done, its just been tune after tune...<BR/><BR/>some more comments on the type of thing you would suggest would be very helpful indeedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
