\"\"After the pandemic led to postponement of the School of D\u00e0imh<\/em>, the band have moved their signature \u2018lessons in session progression\u2019 format on-line with a series of YouTube videos<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The School of D\u00e0imh<\/em> is the legendary Highland band\u2019s bi-annual weekend of tuition held in Arisaig. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe thing that makes the School of D\u00e0imh<\/em> different is our approach to learning the tunes and accompaniment at the same time on all instruments. That way the workshops build like a session with everyone playing together.\u201d Explains fiddler Gabe McVarish. \u201cWe found that many people can be confident on their instrument but not confident enough in a session setting so we developed a style of teaching that focuses on learning and playing together rather than dividing up classes into the specific instrument groups.\u201d<\/p>\n

Clearly indexed videos give participants the chance to skip or re-watch sections at their leisure, meaning people can learn in their time, at their own pace.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe had to find a way to re-produce in a video setting, so we came up a format where one of us plays the tune through with accompaniment, then we split and the tune is taught by the melody player followed by the chord ideas by Ross or Yogi on guitar. At the end of the video is two \u2018session\u2019 section where you can play the tune with all of us with or without the chords, giving accompanists a chance to try some variations and ideas that have been discussed during the video.\u201d<\/p>\n

The series of videos add up to form complete sets of tunes which can be played with band in full in the last of the videos that will be released. There\u2019s even a song to learn from Ellen MacDonald.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThese videos mean you can have all the fun of hanging out with the D\u00e0imh boys without having to actually spend the time with them in real life\u201d Ellen was keen to point out.<\/p>\n

The videos are free to watch on the band\u2019s YouTube channel, all they ask in return is that you like and subscribe<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
