General Format of Each Class
Each week, I work on new material in each class, including many of my own compositions.
I teach tunes by ear during the live class on Zoom.
Following each class, I provide a video recording of the lesson for all students of the tune.
The recording allows all players to work at their own pace following the live workshop and means if a player misses the live teaching of the tune, they can learn the new material covered at their own pace.
Each class focuses on ornamentation, chords, accompaniment, finger work.
FAQ
What’s taught at intermediate level? Generally one tune per class is covered, lots of focus on left hand accompaniment, chordal progress, finger work, technique & ornamentation. Tune is taught by ear & recording of lesson is sent after class. Types of tunes I teach at this level include my own compositions, clan-marches, jigs, hornpipes, planxties, basic reels.
What’s taught at advanced level? This is a faster paced lesson, with emphasis on more complex left hand accompaniment & arrangement of the tune. Types of tunes taught include my own compositions, reels, jigs, with strong emphasis on left hand accompaniment.
What if I miss a class?
A video replay of the lesson will be provided following each lesson for you to recap, allowing you to catch up also if you miss any live lessons. The replay will be available for 6 months
