The hardest tunes on the CD are Waltz of the My Dreams (Quebec) which makes extensive use of chord substitutions, accent shifts and other ideas; and The March of the King of Laois (Ireland) which de monstrates bassline ideas, dissonances, some improvisation and much more.

 Choosing Tunes for Contra Dance Medleys
Sometimes in contra dance playing three or four tunes are used in the medley, with the change to the next tune taking place somewhat arbitrarily.
The choice of tunes, the way they are combined in sets, and the way the sets are used during the dance is also important.
Tune changes with impact can include switching from a jig to a reel, going from a "notey" tune to a simpler one with lots of drive, switching mode (major to minor, minor to major), or switching keys.

 Ian Grigor - Learning tunes
He started off learning Scottish tunes using sheet music, and then found that he was able to pick up tunes by ear.
He said that he can pick up tunes fairly easily, and that if he practised from half-an-hour to an hour per day for a week, he would be able to learn two to four tunes.
Whereas, if you're learning by ear, you make up your own wee bits, you improvise here and there, and the basic structure of the tune is still there, but you've sort of tweaked it and changed it here and there, and in my opinion, being unique is a lot better.
