Masters of
Scottish Arts - Live in Concert Volume 1 |
This fabulous new all digital CD was just released in July 2003. It
includes beautifully mastered live recordings made during the first
three years of the Masters of Scottish Arts concerts held at the
Scottish Rite Center and Town Hall. This CD will quickly become a
favorite. Produced by Neil Hubbard and Jori
Chisholm, it features electrifying solo and ensemble recordings
by the faculty of the Winter
School. This is a must have CD. |
Electric Pipes |
New Zealand based piping notation software. This is highly
recommended. I use this software personally. It is a joy to use and
can be used as an effective aid in learning new tunes. Highly recommended. |
