Dance Lessons in Melbourne & Victoria

• IRISH BOUZOUKI, Carlton, VIC (DoMore)
  The Bouzouki is widely used in traditional Irish music to accompany melody players. Pioneers of developing this instrument since the 1970's have been players like Alec Finn Donal Lunny and Johnny Moynihan. The original Greek tuning has been adapted to suit the Irish style and nowdays the Bouzouki tuning for folk players is GDAD. This allows the player to adapt to the modal nature of the music by playing counterpoint melody and chords. The dance music of Ireland includes jig reels hornpipes slides and polkas and embraces a wide range of timings including 6/8 4/4 9/8 and 12/8. Learn how to back tune payers at sessions and experience the exhilaration that comes from playing along with a fast flying reel. You will need to have basic musical skills and your own instument for this Masterclass. Apply now as numbers are limited to 6 participants.... get more details and book online from DoMore...
