4 weeks beginning July 8/9
Sign up for classes here. Be sure to specify which day (or both).
Cost: $80 for each
class, $150 for both
If
you'd like to take the class but money is tight, please
don't hesitate to let me know and we can work something
out... I really want everyone who's interested in Irish
music to be able to take these classes.
SUMMER CLASSES - I don't usually teach the tune classes in the summer months, but with Cascadia Irish Week taking the year off I've heard from several people urging me to do it. So I've decided to have a short four-week series in July on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, but a little different than usual.
Tuesdays, July 8 to July 29, 7pm Pacific - "CLASSICS" this class will be all the very standard tunes, the ones we've skipped over in the regular tune classes... the ones “everybody needs to know”, whatever instrument you play. The classics.
Wednesdays, July 9 to July 30, 7pm Pacific - "FLAT KEYS" this class will be oriented towards the fiddle tunes in flat keys (G minor, F, etc.) and tunes with low ranges, the ones we've skipped over in the regular classes due to their difficulty on some instruments. This isn't for fiddles only, anyone can take it.
Email to sign up or for
more information. $80 for
either series, $150 for both.
These classes are only
melody, we won't be getting into chords or accompaniment.
The tunes will be taught by ear, with lots of
repetition... we won't be using written music.
PRIVATE LESSONS on Irish fiddle – In July
I'll be teaching private lessons on Zoom or at my place in
northeast Olympia on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons.
These are 55-minute lessons
focusing on bowing, phrasing, ornaments, etc... how
to make music out of all those notes. You can
take a one-time lesson or sign up for more.
July only, $50 per lesson.
