These ‘tools’ include the use of long notes, staccato notes, ornaments, upbeats, double octaves, chords, stops and emphasis. Ornaments and triplets are clearly broken down and demonstrated effectively. A lot of time and attention is given to the integrity of a tune, with good rhythm, momentum and emphasis important above all else. Ornamentation is taught after the tune and its rhythm have already been firmly established. Tunes are frequently related back to the dancing tradition from which they emerged which is helpful in understanding their context and how to approach them. Caroline accentuates using the whole concertina, not being stuck in rows but moving from either side of the concertina for optimal flow and personality. Caroline's teaching is a breath of fresh air as she breathes new life into this reed instrument encouraging you to get more out of your playing all the while masterfully taking you to a new level of skill. 12 Tunes are taught in this course: The Humours of Glendart Pull the Knife and Stick it Again The North Road to Tralee The Peeler and the Goat Mol Roe Na Ceanabhainn Bhána The Glen Cottage Polka Where the Lilies Grow The Edenderry Reel The Milky Way The Good Natured Man The Castle Jig If you're new to the Concertina you can start with our Concertina Basics course for absolute beginners: https://www.oaim.ie/concertina/concer...
