Subject: This is really difficult- but it is only about 1 point on the whole exam- don't stress
In reply to: Thanks! 's message, "Does anyone know an easy way to distinguish between a light jig and a single jig tune? They both sound so similar, I'm worried I might mix them up during the exam!" on Tuesday, July 15, 11:58pm

Single jigs end in 1,2,3 whereas double jigs end in 1,2,3,4

Single jigs tend to sound a little slidey(? sorry- just the only word that I can think to describe it!) on the last few bars- think of the tune "The Quaker's Wife" from Gates of Derry- it is not as crisp as a 1,2,3,4 from a double jig like, say, the tune of St. Patrick's Day- I hope that helps a little!

[> You can do your "babyreelthrees" to a single jig but not to a light jig. Single jig sounds like "Humpty dumpty humpty dumpty etc". -- Helen, Wednesday, July 16, 9:01am
