The "Online Academy of Irish Music presents this sample lesson for Majella's course "Fleadh Tunes for the Flute".
This course will feature dance tunes and slow airs that are suitable to competition playing. With regard to dance tunes there will be a progression through ornamentation, variation, phrasing, articulation, tempo, rhythm and tone. When teaching Slow Airs the main focus will be on the phrasing, momentum, appropriate ornamentation, the use of expression and most importantly the history and background to the airs and the accompanying songs, words and translations.
The course will enable the learning flautist to have knowledge of appropriate competition tunes and an understanding of how to approach the topic of air playing.
Some of the tunes we will be covering in the classes include:
Dan the Cobbler
The Clare Jig
Gallant Boys of Tipperary
The Evergreen
Fairy Queen
Kit O'Mahoney's
Boys of the Lough
Captian Campbells
The Swallow's Nest
Hi Paddy, Glad you like Majella's playing. She plays a Hammy Hamilton flute.
