Is there a simple Scottish tune used to best practice Scottish grace notes? Thanks.
Hi Hanneke,
I’ve been trying to learn your ‘flick’ but I have a question: Most grace notes come before the note to be embellished but it sounds like your flick comes after. Can you clarify that please?
Thanks, Dawn
Hi Hanneke,
Do flicks come before or after the main note?
Thanks, Dawn
