Irish Music Workshop
Tucson, Arizona
August 12, 2015 4:00-5:00pm
Tucson, Arizona
August 12, 2015 4:00-5:00pm
Please join Rebecca Baumbach (fiddle) and Skip Cleavinger (tin whistle and uilleann pipes) at an Irish music workshop in Tucson, Arizona. They will be teaching a set of Irish jigs. In addition, they will discuss the aspects of rhythm, phrasing and ornamentation that create the “Irish sound.”
The focus of the workshop will be melody only. It is open to all instruments. Guitars and non-Irish instruments are welcome; just be prepared to play the melody on any instrument you bring!
The workshop will include a recording of Rebecca and Skip playing the tunes at a slow speed for the purposes of learning and at a performance tempo for you to play along with when you’re ready. In addition, each participant will receive a couple tracks from commercial recordings by outstanding, well-known Irish musicians that feature the tunes taught in the workshop.
This is a wonderful opportunity to learn some new Irish tunes, discuss Irish music and culture and to widen your experiences with the Irish musical tradition. Following the workshop, Rebecca and Skip will be giving a house concert.
The workshop is $30 per person. The house concert is $20. To reserve your spot in the workshop and/or house concert on the 12th, please email Nancy at [email protected]. There will be another house concert on the 11th on the East side of Tucson. RSVP to Trish for that concert at [email protected]
