Violon irlandais - Irish fiddle lessons - Learn the history and repertoire of Irish music from a native!

From 49.97 C$ /h

Irish fiddle lessons from an Irish fiddle player living in Grenoble.
Pupils will learn about the history of Irish music, as well as regional styles as they expand their repertoire.
I have 3 years experience teaching fiddle and tin whistle to adults and children and have completed 1 year of a BA in Irish Music and Dance in the University of Limerick, Ireland. I prefer to teach aurally as I believe that it is very important to develop your ear as a musician, but I can also give notes if a pupil is struggling.
I am from Co.Donegal and am heavily influenced by the South Donegal style, I have a vast repertoire and love to pass on any knowledge I have to others!

General Methodology – Violin Lessons
A creative approach that combines technique, musical expression, and personal development. Courses include:
• Fun warm-up to relax the body and stimulate concentration.
• Applied technique (posture, bow, accuracy) with sensory methods.
• Creative exploration through improvisation and sound experimentation.
• Varied repertoire (classical, world music, contemporary) adapted to the student’s tastes.
• Personal performance or composition project, presented in concert or recording.
The course also promotes non-musical skills such as discipline, self-confidence, listening skills, teamwork, and emotional management. Progress is based on tailored materials, interactive exercises, and personalized support.
