"I have been teaching piano for many years now, here in Skye, and in that time I have noticed how well my pupils take to arrangements of Gaelic and Highland tunes, especially those who have been educated through the medium of Gaelic. There is such a rich culture here that not to use it in the teaching of music would be a travesty." Mairi M Strachan.
