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.

perfecting his teaching method which is-
“As simple as ABC”.
