Classes are well underway in the current Semester at the Greater Danbury Irish Cultural Center, www.gdicc.org. Tomorrow, November 17th, we will be halfway though this Session. It goes fast. Lots of great tunes being taught. My new students are currently working on the hornpipe, Off to California . Students that have been with me for awhile are learning the Wise Maid Reel and have just finished up with Tommy Mulhaire's jig. Tomorrow, we will begin a new jig....don't have a name for it at this time. It's a beauty though.
We will be taking the Saturday after Thanksgiving off which means ,this Semester will run through December 15th. Classes will resume after Christmas/New Years....date yet to be decided. Each class is 45 minutes long and runs for 6 weeks. Speaking of Xmas, we are also preparing our Hymns and Christmas songs for our Christmas Concert.
Will be accepting new students in the upcoming Session. Ages 7 and up are welcomed. If you don't live in the Connecticut or Mid-Hudson region of New York, then Skype is an option. You need to know at least 1 tune well and have a good understanding of your instrument. Skype is currently offered to my regular students as a make-up for absences or snow days.
Whistles are inexpensive instruments, costing somewhere between $10 and $15. Kate's Irish Gifts store in Danbury, Connecticut, www.katesirishgifts.com would probably be a good place to look at one. The Flutes that I work with are usually simple system, keyless instruments. If you don't have one, ask me about it as I'm currently in possession of a few extras.
