Practice chanter :
- start with a slow tempo by looping the delicate parts, then gradually increase to the required bpm value : this concerns in particular the main technical difficulty located in bars 3 and 4 of part 3 (sequence grip, doublings and G throw)
- each part begins with an anacrusis that takes place just after beat 2,
- the last two bars of each part are identical : one will benefit from working them well (in a loop),
- give all their value to all the dotted quarter notes to keep the rhythm,
- this is also important for the single quarter notes, especially those which are followed by a taorluath = play a solid quarter note,
- place the G grace notes and the doublings on the beat.
- Part. 3 : do not rush the taorluath = for this, remember to mark the dotted quarter note.
- score written by Eric Maclewis with CelticPipes
