 Peadars Easy Peasy Whistle Weeks       

Traditional Irish Music Workshops

Dates:
Music 1  Sun 27th June - Sat 3rd July 2010 
Music 2  Sun 11th July - Sat 17th July 2010
Music 3  Sun 1st Aug - Sat 7th Aug 2010

The workshops are open to people who play a traditional instrument catering for all instruments, levels and abilities, whether you are a beginner or an accomplished player. Melodic and accompanying instruments are both catered for. 
The week begins on Sunday with an evening meal. Workshops take place every morning Monday to Friday. Afternoons are left free to explore the countryside, practise or just relax. Each evening the group goes to a different session in a variety of local pubs. 
The week finishes after breakfast on Saturday, however you can stay longer if you wish or leave earlier.

We invite a different musician to come in to teach each day and aim to cover all instruments of those participating in the workshop.

The workshops are very relaxed and friendly. Music is supposed to be fun.

We don't teach instruments from scratch and participants are expected to have a basic understanding of their instrument.
Due to the nature of the Irish music most of the tuition is done by ear, however notes are provided as well. It is recommended to bring a recording device to record the tunes.
If you have more questions about the Music Workshop go to FAQ page.

Peadar Reilly is a well-known flute and whistle player. He has played extensively for many years in lots of bands and sessions and travelled all over the world to perform.
