Learn 10 of the most well known tunes and start playing in your local celtic music session.

In this course, you'll learn some of the most popular and easy Irish melodies on the violin. These are the most popular Irish tunes that are played in Celtic music sessions all over the world. Hi I'm your instructor, Daniel Boudreau and I've been playing in celtic music sessions for over 10 years. I know how much of a struggle it is to pick the right tunes to learn, where to place embellishments and how to bow the melody. That's why I created this course. I wanted to help beginner violinists and fiddlers get on the fast track to start playing irish fiddle and to eventually become a session fiddler.

The course is structured as follows…

Each new tune is assigned to it's own section. The section contains several lessons. The lessons break down learning the tune into three steps. Here are the steps:

Overview of the notes in the tune. The tunes are taught phrase by phrase.

Overview of the bowing

Overview of the embellishments. This is where you have fun decorating the melody!
