Tutor
Ian Muir (Hampshire)
Ian started playing the accordion at school when he was 12 and playing
for dances at the age of 14. Having played with McBain’s Band for a
number of years, Craigellachie was formed in 1986. Since its inception the
band has been well received both in the UK and abroad. Ian’s philosophy
for the band has always been that playing must be fun, that the repertoire
used for dancing must be as good to listen to as it is to dance to, and that
the future of the music lies in encouraging new and young players. A keen
composer, many of Ian’s compositions have been published and recorded,
several having been adopted as originals for dances. As a solo musician
Ian plays regularly for classes and day schools. Ian retired as the RSCDS
Music Director in November 2021 after six years in the post.
Participants do not need to have had previous experience of playing in a
band, for class or for dancing but need a good grounding on their
instrument. The focus will be on accordion, fiddle and band
keyboard/piano but other instruments are welcome at the discretion of
the course tutor.
