The Leg of the Duck

Welcome to the new Autumn term 2016. Our first tune will be a popular jig called out on the ocean played in the key of G major. The tune has been recorded by many musicians in various keys i.e A major, D major and C major. When we have the tune well practiced we can maybe try out a different key.
