500 YEARS OF MAKING MUSIC FOR DANCE

Last October, did you hear Sarah Deters’ wonderful lecture about the history of instruments and their use in music for dance? There was a lot to absorb and now you can read about it, in full and at your leisure, thanks to Paul Kent. Visit the Music for Dancing page here to view a permanent new resource on our website.

Dr Sarah Deters is the Learning and Engagement Curator of The Musical Instrument Collection at St Cecilia’s Hall, Edinburgh. All of the many pictures included in this review (unless otherwise indicated) are courtesy of The Musical Instrument Collection at St Cecilia’s Hall.
