We at Taigh na Teud (scotlandsmusic.com) have always tried to publish Scottish traditional music in easy, accessible and up to date formats. We have not only published sheet music in our books selected for different occasions (session books, Christmas collections etc.), but have also created DVDs to help you learn to play the Scottish fiddle. Many of our satisfied customers have enjoyed using our website and DVDs, and now we want to investigate how we can best use other new technologies to improve and extend how we help you learn and play Scottish traditional music.
In order to create our range of products in a way that fits your needs, rather than just implementing our own ideas we would like to ask you to take part in this survey. The results will be used to create, with your help, new products you will enjoy using.

There are different ways to find books, CDs, DVDs etc.
Do you like the personal advice from your retailer in the shop or would you rather have the comfort of browsing at home? Select the statements that apply to you and if you wish you may also add additional comments explaining why you prefer one or another way of looking for your materials.
Once you know what you want to have, where do you actually buy / order it?
Do you prefer having a collection of tunes (or lessons) compiled in a book, a CD or a DVD or would you rather buy an individual tune (or lesson) you want to learn specifically?
