8-Week Traditional Irish Tune Workshop

I'm hosting an 8-week traditional Irish tune learning workshop online starting Tuesday, April 21st, 7:30-8:30pm ET. We'll learn session-ready tunes in a friendly group.

Level & Instrument

Tunes will be taught at an intermediate level, though all levels welcome since recordings after each class allow you to learn at your own pace. While rooted in the Sligo style, these tunes are compatible with all styles of Irish music. Designed for fiddle, though other melody instruments welcome.

What You'll Get:

  • Weekly 1-hour Zoom classes (recorded)
  • A 30-minute private lesson (schedule anytime during the workshop)
  • Tunes taught by ear
  • Sheet music for each tune
  • Separate recordings of each tune (full speed & slow with slurs)
  • Ongoing support - ask me questions anytime during the 8 weeks

Cost

$160 for all 8 weeks
