Online Course - Read Music The Trad Way

Dr Liz Doherty’s brand new ONLINE course is designed to get Irish traditional musicians reading music quickly and easily! Learning and playing ‘by ear’ is what Irish traditional music is all about. Yet, we already use forms of literacy, like the ABC system, to help us share and remember tunes. Mastering music literacy is the next step in building this support system. Staff notation offers a deeper and more comprehensive insight into the music. Plus, being able to read music provides instant access to all those wonderful books and collections of tunes we have – there’s a treasure trove of resources just waiting to be discovered! No matter what instrument you play, if you are a traditional musician who wants to add music reading to your skillset, this is the course for you. It’s simple – and it works. Designed by a traditional musician for traditional musicians. “It’s been like finding the missing pieces of the jigsaw for me musically.” – M. Donegan. • 4 simple steps • No detours through classical music • Learn to read with instrument in hand (whistle, flute, pipes, fiddle, accordion, concertina, harp, piano) • Tons of traditional music exercises to practice on • Follow the course at your own pace Certified by the Royal Irish Academy of Music. “Every traditional musician should do this course!” - Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh, Altan. “It would be wonderful if many more traditional musicians could have access to the very rich treasury of notated Irish music.” – Martin Hayes. "Liz Doherty's specially designed course for trad musicians is an invaluable addition to the armoury of anyone who has learned their instrument the "trad way". – Bill Whelan.
