Hi there, Mark and thanks for joining up!

Yes – I’d focus on the beginner tunes first, but one nice thing about how the lessons on this site are set up is that there is a basic melody tutorial for even advanced tunes. So if something catches your ear, you should be able to at least pick up the bare bones of the tune.

Dang – that’s a cool title. Definitely added to Hanneke’s running request list…we need to get her back in the studio for another session.

Good news is we still have a bunch of lessons from her last session to produce – two of which are out to her for review right now as a matter of fact: Coilsfield House and My Love She’s but a Lassie Yet.…[Read more]
