Author Information

Ethel Bassin, well-known teacher and music festival organizer, spent her childhood in Edinburgh, and taught in Portree before going to Canada to lecture in the University of British Columbia on music methods. While there she wrote a number of playlets with English dialogue and Gaelic songs, which she produced at festivals. She then went to London to edit Rural Music, and returned in 1939 to the Hebrides, where she collected folksongs. Later she became Music Teacher at Dingwall Academy in Ross-shire and was still revising this book at the time of her death in 1974.
