Traditional Irish Musical Instrument Tutorials
Traditional Irish Musical Instrument Tutorials

Ms Geoghegan has been very busy and with help of family and friends, made these amazing traditional Irish music video tutorials. The videos introduce musical instruments, their appearance, characteristics and sounds. We are then also treated to samples of traditional reels and jigs being played on the instrument in question.

They’re a lovely resource to have and something different to add to our homeschool resources. Enjoy below.
