Intermediate to Advanced Irish Flute and Tin Whistle
This class is open to both flute and tin whistle players. We will work on improving your ability to pick up tunes by ear, technique, phrasing, and repertoire. We’ll explore a handful of tricks for learning a tune more quickly and accurately, and how to retain what you’ve learned. Techniques will include breath control, tone, phrasing, rhythm, pulse, ornamentation, and style. We’ll explore “sets” of tunes and what makes a great “set.” We will discuss style and approaches to jigs, reels, slides, polkas, marches, slip jigs, hornpipes, barn dances and slow airs.
