DVD-Learn To Play Irish Fiddle #2
- Published by Homespun
- DVD
Description
On his second lesson, the legendary Kevin Burke takes you to the next level of Irish fiddle playing, with reference to the styles of Donegal, Clare, Kerry, Sligo and Brittany. The reels, jigs and gavottes he teaches are faster, more complex tunes than on lesson one, with wonderful variations and stylistic devices typical of the great traditional Irish fiddlers.
You’ll learn to play a number of haunting tunes, including The Cottage Grove, Bonnie Kate, Jenny’s Chickens, The Man From Bundoran, The Rose in the Heather, Dan Collins’ Father’s Jig, The Miller Of Droghan, Connie O’Connell’s, A Cup of Tea, Off To The Races and three Breton gavottes. Kevin breaks down each tune in detail, teaching the melody slowly and then analyzing the rolls, triplets, grace notes, bowing techniques, rhythmic timing, phrasing and other elements that make these dance tunes come alive.
Although the emphasis of this lesson is naturally on Irish music, you’ll learn important fiddle techniques that will serve you well in any style you play.

More Irish Folk Tales for Children
Album Description
Sharon Kennedy’s tales take children to a world of giants and kings, magical journeys and dancing pigs. It’s a world where cleverness counts and where might doesn’t make right. Following up her award-winning album Irish Folk Tales for Children, the Grammy-nominated storyteller presents four more tales from the rich Irish tradition. Irish music weaves in and out of the stories, enhancing the spell which Sharon Kennedy casts. “You’ll hang on every word of Sharon Kennedy, an Irish American whose ear for the auld sod’s brogue is as unerring as her instinct for an engrossing yarn.” -Moira McCormick, Family Fun

Half a decade after she released the beguiling Irish Folk Tales for Children, Sharon Kennedy returns with another winning album of Irish tales for kids, even though adults will find these folk tales just as entrancing and entertaining. In one example of the rich and magical world Kennedy serves up in four stories (totaling more than an hour of storytelling with one brief Irish musical interlude), pigs can’t stop dancing (“Annie O’Reilly and the Magic Dancing Pig”). Of course, underlying this 16-minute fable is a sly critique, as the king of England wants this prized pig as his own and is wont to take things, but the pig eludes royal grasp. Kennedy proves again she’s an accomplished seanachie (that’s Gaelic for storyteller). Her voice is rich, warm, and musical as she spins imaginative foibles such as Tommy O’Rourke’s visit to the moon, or as she delightfully relates an abridged version of the old Beowulf yarn in “Finn McCool.” In the age of Harry Potter’s magical adventures–and way too much TV watching–here’s a grand listening exercise for children that will capture their heads and hearts while hopefully helping to keep their ears on. –Martin Keller
