Instruction is based on Classical technique -- but with some differences in emphasis or expression, necessary for Celtic dance music and non-classical traditions. |
 |
|
Lessons usually include tuning, warm-up with scales, arpeggios and bowing exercises, followed by traditional dance tunes. Sheet music is usually provided, though tunes or variations are also taught by ear. Tunes, exercises and variations in bowing or melody are usually played somewhat slowly and carefully (even for advanced students), with the aim to firmly establish body-digital memory before slowly increasing tempos. Recording with MD or cassette is encouraged! |
