Regimental Tunes
I have never played in any kind of military setting so have not learned many of the regimental tunes that you will find in the first section of collections such as that of the Seaforth Highlanders or the Scots Guards.
But to my surprise, quite a few of the tunes in my repertoire are to be found in the Regimental Tunes section of the Seaforth Highlanders Collection (the first substantial collection of music that I purchased). I also learned many other tunes from this book and these are listed in the tunes section of this website.
