Re: Learning Music By ear, tricks of the trade?

When I first started on the pipes, I was also new to Irish music. I found trying to teach myself to play pipes, learn tunes, and learn to pick up tunes by ear was too much for my little brain to handle. So I put the learning by ear aside, and learned tunes by sheet music <gasp> alone. I knew how to ...

Re: 2010 South East Tionol Registration is Open!

Bump. I know with St. Pat's right around the corner everyone is focused on the next week, but take some of your gig money and come to Atlanta for the Tionol! You know you've earned it.

Spring has finally arrived, its warming up and should be a great weekend for the tionol. March 26-28th.

Re: What would you ask Ryan Duns?

Will he ever go back to playing for Feisanna?
Did playing for hours and hours for Step Dancers strengthen his faith? :)
Does he still play the box, or has he given it up totally for the whistle?

Re: Starting off!

You can't learn everything you need to know from a book, although certainly reading everything you can get your hands on helps.

Find a teacher as there are a million things that will help you make faster progress that are not written down anywhere.
