"What's the difference between Normal Pace courses and Pro Track?"
Normal Pace is for students who say to themselves "I want to really learn how to play Irish music" while Pro Track is for students who say to themselves, "I want to really learn how to play Irish music as soon as possible"
Both courses have the same educational approach and cover the same material, but Pro Track students commit themselves to a heavier weekly workload and have more student teacher interaction.
Normal Pace: Classes at a normal pace require approximately 3 hours of work weekly. Students and teachers send / receive feedback once to twice a week for dictations and melody work.
Pro Track: Pro Track courses are for students who are willing to invest more time each week in their Irish music training. These courses require approximately 5 hours of work a week and teachers and students send / receive feedback twice to three times a week about dictations and melody work.

ONLINE COURSES
What levels do you teach?
Please note that online courses are essentially private classes. We design and teach each course according to the individual needs of each online student. Our courses are not prerecorded. You interact with our teachers who adjust the course material to optimize your learning experience.
Students in the past have asked us "What level do you think I am". Therefore, we provide the levels listed below to give students an idea about what to expect in general, but remember that all the material you get is really custom made for you.
LEVEL 1: Melodies played slow and simple. Getting to know your instrument, learning how to open your ears, introduction to ear training.
LEVEL 2: Gaining fluidity on your instrument, graded melodic and rhythmic dictations, melodies played with more Irish phrasing, focusing on learning how to hear and divide melodies into phrases, basic decorations. Beginning to interpret the tune, not just play through it.
LEVEL 3: You already know all the basics of your instrument. Graded rhythmic and melodic dictations are more difficult. Compare and contrast different versions of the same tune, breaking longer phrases down into shorter phrases to add more contrast, tension and release. Focus on interpretation and decoration. Making your tunes dance, cry and sing.
