SUMMARY:NAVRS Workshop with Dan Meyers: The New Road: Traditional Irish Tunes on the Recorder
LOCATION:Online Meeting
DESCRIPTION:NAVRS Workshop with Dan Meyers: The New Road: Traditional Irish Tunes on the Recorder\n\n07/12/26 07:00 PM EST\n - 07/12/26 08:30 PM EST\Description:\nThe tin whistle or pennywhistle became popular in Irish music in the 19th century, when industrial production transformed a bit of rolled sheet metal and a simple wooden block into a cheap and widely accessible instrument. But as we recorder players know, another fipple flute had already been popular for centuries before that--and it's suitable for traditional Irish music as well!\nAs with many kinds of folk music, when it comes to traditional Irish tunes, the most important element is not the instrument but the style. Articulation in Irish music is largely done with the fingers rather than the tongue, and the Irish tradition has a rich and complex lexicon of ornamentation that is both similar to and different from techniques you may have encountered in Baroque music. We'll have a look at how all of this makes the music sound uniquely Irish; we'll also explore phrasing, how and where to breathe, and some approaches for learning tunes by ear in the traditional way, rather than from sheet music (though never fear, we'll have sheet music for the tunes in this workshop). For Upper Intermediate to Advanced players\nNB: Most traditional Irish tunes fit best on a C instrument and that's what we'll be working with, so plan to play soprano or tenor for this class.\Details:\nThis is a NAVRS members only event. Visit our website navrs.org for more information on our membership and other great programs offered. \n \nThe Zoom link will be live beginning at 6:45 pm Eastern. \n \nCost: NAVRS Membership is $20 per year and each workshop is $20. \n \nNEW: Full-time students can attend NAVRS playing meetings and workshops free of charge.
