Level 2—Near-Beginner: Instructor assumes that you have not
been playing very long, but know the basics. The material is still at a very easy level, but certain elementary things are
not explained.

traditional Irish fiddle. In this superb starter lesson, he passes on his vast knowledge and experience through an in-depth
study of some of his favorite tunes, styles and techniques.
Kevin understands the needs of the learning fiddler, and
he conveys his ideas with clarity and simplicity. Focusing on Irish polkas, slides and jigs, he teaches the basic tune, along
with several variations, explaining the rhythmic devices that distinguish each dance form. He then shows you the grace notes,
rolls, double-stops and other ornaments that make this music so distinctive, and that keep it in the true Irish tradition.
