Beginning Ensemble

*In-Person Class* 

Irish music is most fun when it is played with friends! Join Brian Miller for the Beginning Ensemble in 2021-22, an in-person class. This first-time mixed-instrument ensemble is open to musicians ages 9-12 who know about 10-15 full-length Irish tunes (jigs, reels, or polkas). This class is a great opportunity to meet new Irish music friends who play different instruments, and to improve your Irish music skills which include learning music by ear, rhythm, pitch and repertoire!

CIM is requiring all students aged 12 and older to be vaccinated. Since many participants in this class are not eligible for vaccination, we are asking that they wear masks. Whistle masks are available for purchase here: https://studio.earnestthreads.com/masks/.

All beginning ensemble students are required to take weekly private lessons from a CIM instructor. CIM instructors support learning the ensemble repertoire and reinforce technical & stylistic aspects of each student's instrument.
