Reference note: PS = Piobaireachd Society book, K = Kilberry Book of Ceol Mor
Novice: Play the entire ground (tune selected from below list)
D Grade: Ground and next Variation. (tune selected from below list)
Note the idea is to play the ground plus one variation in total. Therefore if the Ground has a thumb variation for example, then the thumb would suffice as the variation. If there is a Ground followed by a variation with Singling and a Doubling, only the Singling is required to be played.
C Grade: Full tune (tune selected from below list)
