Class Description

Description

In this class, we will explore the fundamentals of traditional Irish music on the fiddle. We will learn about stylistic nuances that make Irish fiddle playing different from other styles of folk music such as old time or bluegrass, while also drawing a throughline via some commonalities in these traditions.

We will learn a polka, a waltz, a jig, and possibly a reel, exploring various rhythms common to Irish traditional music. Through the exploration of these tunes, we will talk about important elements of the style including bowing patterns and left hand ornamentation. Tunes will be taught in a hybrid method to accommodate different learning styles - focusing on the oral tradition, while also working with sheet music for those who are able to read it. By the end of the semester we will have some fun, common tunes under our belt that will be great to play at any traditional seísiun!

No prior experience is necessary, however a basic understanding of the violin (string names, finger and bow positions) is helpful!
