This is a clarsair speaking, remember, so don't know how this would work for
your gang, Nigel, but I'm using Mrs. Crawford of Donside with my students. It
plays very nicely and hauntingly if done slowly, so I do not have them play
it as a reel, but rather as a slow air.
This is still experimental, I only noticed this tune about 3 weeks ago. My
idea is that once I have a student who can play it perfectly well slowly,
I'll tell them to bring it up to reel tempo. My pedagolgical intent is that I
will finally be able to convince *someone* of the advantage of slow practice,
as opposed to jumping right in there at full speed and missing half the notes.
