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.
