Description
Self Guided Course
The complete 10-week Irish fiddle programme with Gerry O’Connor, on your own schedule.
This is the full course: ten weeks of structured lessons from Gerry O’Connor, described by IrishFest.com as “one of the great fiddle players of his generation.” You get everything Gerry teaches each week, minus the live sessions, so you can work through it whenever it suits you.
What’s included
- Full access to all 10 weeks of the course
- A 20 to 30 minute video lesson every week
- Two tunes each week with full sheet music
- Two private YouTube play-through videos so you can follow exactly what Gerry is doing
- Written notes and practice guidance for every class
- Email support, though there’s no guaranteed response time
What you’ll work on
Bow control and phrasing. Ornamentation, the cuts, rolls and slurs that give Irish fiddle its character. Rhythm and timing that feels right rather than just counted out correctly. The regional styles that separate someone playing notes from someone playing music.
Is this for you?
You should already be playing fiddle or violin at an intermediate level. This isn’t a beginner course. From week one you’re working from notation and technique-focused material that assumes you can hold a bow and read some music. It suits players who want to work independently, at their own pace, without live interaction each week.
