About Mixed Instruments: Ceilidh Band

Come and learn the satisfying and engaging skills of playing for dancing!

An ensemble class, open to all instruments, we focus on emphasis, speed and atmosphere, learning how to keep a steady speed, how to keep a light sound with plenty of groove, essential for dance music, and how to craft and shape the tunes and arrangements to make exciting music for both listeners and dancers.

The class is open to all instruments and we are most often using fiddle and melodeon friendly keys like D and G major or E minor.

If you play an instrument which has restrictions in range or keys, such as tin whistle or harmonica, please be aware that you may need to bring an additional instrument, for example whistles in both D and C.

Young people 12–15 years old may attend with a participating, responsible adult over 18 years of age.
