Have tried Zooming, but there’s often a pretty nasty time lag.

Two of my friends and I have met in a State Park picnic area (it has a roof) a couple of times, but we’re weather dependent to a great degree. I do hate the heat (and will probably complain of the cold in a few months, LOL)

Loving the site, and thanks for all the backstage work you’ve put in to create it.

One feature that would make the site more usable for me, at least, would be the ability to be able to click on a Tune Bookmark menu after I’ve logged on. It would be easier to navigate back to the tunes I’m working on without having to use the keyboard…[Read more]

It sounds like a good way to focus your practice of Irish music, but apart from the syllabus posted at the Comhaltas website, ( https://comhaltas.ie/press_room/detail/sct_syllabus/ )I can’t find any study guide to preparing for the various levels of the exams.

Thoughts? Thanks!

I have a tendency to rely on the instructor recording as a crutch. Then when I step away from the computer, realise that I don’t know the piece as well as I thought. Having only a rhythmic accompaniment forces me to be solid with the melody.

But up to a certain level, I suspect that it’s the player, not the tools, that makes the music sound so good. *sigh

Thanks so much for the site – I’m really enjoying it.

Would it be possible for the instructors to wear a colour that doesn’t melt into the background? Hanneke is bare armed and Keven tends to wear lighter clothing, but Niall and Patti wear a lot of black and it’s difficult to see arm position, which is something I’m still…[Read more]
