Feis Rois Week 4

This week we had our fourth Feis Rois session. First, Paul taught us a song called Bananas are the Best. There were some words in Scots, and even “mañana,” which is a Spanish word, and means tomorrow. Next, we practised our Gaelic song, with Caitlin. Then, Caitlin taught us about jigs and reels. if a song is a jig, you can say “carrots and cabbages.” That is six beats. if it is a reel, you can say “watermelon,” which is four beats. Caitlin played us some songs and we had to guess if they were jigs or reels. here are two videos of pieces of music that Caitlin played. Can you guess if they are  jigs or reels?
