#IRISH STRINGED INSTRUMENT SERIES#
The next 8-week series begins in September, 2020. As the series unfolds you will play though your already learned tunes every week, so by the time you're done you’ll have learned at least eight good session tunes and played them many times. When you meet online he'll play the new tune a couple of times through, then teach it phrase by phrase, trying to make sure everyone has it before moving on. string instrument - translation to Irish Gaelic and Irish Gaelic audio pronunciation of translations: See more in New English-Irish Dictionary from Foras na.
#IRISH STRINGED INSTRUMENT ARCHIVE#
Each week Randal will post recordings of the tunes at different tempos on our class website, where you’ll also find links to other musicians’ versions of the tunes, lots of background and history on the music and musicians, as well as an archive of several hundred tunes that he's taught in these classes over the years. The goal of these classes is to build a good repertoire of Irish session tunes, and also to improve at learning and playing by ear. The Celtc harp is the national symbol of Ireland and has been played all over the world from early times in one form or other. Looking not unlike a giant mandolin, the instrument was popularized by Irish folk legend Dnal Lunny from Tullamore, County Offaly, who uses one in groups Planxty and LAPD. The modern tetrachordo bouzouki was noticed by Irish musicians, who adopted and adapted it for accompaniment in Irish folk music, from whence it has diffused into other folk genres. In the 1950s, a four course / eight-string (tetrachordo) version was developed in Greece.
Our shop supports local makers of Irish instruments. The original Greek bouzouki is a three course / six-string instrument (trichordo). For the last 10 years, Randal has been teaching Irish tune learning classes in the Seattle area, and due to the pandemic the classes have now moved online using Zoom. Adapted from a Greek instrument and brought to Ireland in the 1960s, the Irish bouzouki is the latest addition to our traditional music arsenal. The harp is Irelands best-known instrument but in medieval Ireland other stringed instruments were also played. We are proud to have the biggest selection of Irish Whistles, Bodhrans and Harps in Dublin City Centre.
