October 2024 "PowerTune:" Sean Buí
Apologies for the delay in posting October's tune - my computer suddenly decided to stop recording audio, and I'm a musician and tech issues just throw such wrenches in my game!
I'm hopeful that downloading new software is going to fix it, BUT in the meantime, big thanks to Noah at Powers Music for helping me just get a darn video or two UP on the internets for you all. The learning is the goal. So we have a little video against the boring white wall where I look like I'm floating in space -
Which they say is relaxing?
Regardless, make sure your shoulders are down, fingers relaxed, and give the traditional piping jig "Sean Buí" a go.

November 2024 "PowerTune" - "Within a Mile of Dublin"
Переглядів 20714 днів тому
This month's tune is the reel "Within a Mile of Dublin," which I chose because it's slightly off the beaten path, but also quite lovely -AND simple to play. Always a win-win.

The great fiddler, piano player and composer Charlie Lennon passed away in June of this year, leaving behind a rich legacy of his fantastic recordings and compositions. The A major jig "The Handsome Young Maidens" is one of his most well-known tunes, and is also one of the easier ones to play (they aren't all easy!)

April 2024 "Power Tune:" the "Mountain Road" by Michael Gorman
Переглядів 5727 місяців тому
It turned out at last month's session that most people didn't know the reel "Mountain Road." Well, this must be remedied and cannot be allowed to stand, because it's just a great tune. Apparently there's also a third part, which I might need to look into; but two parts is most commonly played, and usually it's AB single reel format. As you may be coming to understand, I'm pretty opinionated and...

Hello!!! We moved the monthly learners Irish Music session at Powers Music School to THURSDAY nights this fall 2023, as we felt Fridays weren't cutting it for folks.

A bit ridiculous, but we need a bit more of that in our lives, don't we? To join...

    Hi Ellery! Not sure you remember me, but Golo and I played a few sessions with you years ago in Vermont. I just stumbled upon your site here and just wanted to say thanks. Nice to have the tune played slowly and then quicker. Sounds great! Maybe we'll run into you again one day. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year 2024 very soon! I think I subscribed, not sure. Will definitely look for more of your tunes! Sounds great! Golo says hello too!

    Grüezi I've met you yesterday on UA-cam for the first time. I like the way you teach tunes. Very motivating. I wanted to know more about you and found the following remark: "Ellery encourages technical excellence while also teaching perseverance and confidence. Ellery makes sure her students build the ability to feel okay with mistakes, laugh, and be compassionate towards themselves." I am a retired schoolteacher from Switzerland and I always tried to make my students feel likewise. So I'm looking forward to playing along with you via UA-cam.

    Thank you for an excellent tutorial - very helpful for one picking up the violin again after decades of inactivity! You apologised for slurring some notes, but in fact I think those specific slurs add beautifully to the character of the jig, and also change the up-bow, down-bow sequence following. Practising without slurring initially could make it hard to later 'undo' the 'up/down' sequence that has become fixed in muscle memory. Your thoughts?

    You are fabulous! Thank you for such a clear tutorial! I am practising your suggestions. May I ask - is it best to nail the patterns so you don't have to think about them, before introducing them to a tune? I ask because I tried the pattern (A,DD,A,D,A) and felt okay so tried introducing first on A or second on D and it went pear-shaped 😆
