Listening to the Greats

Online

*Online class*

We derive our inspiration from listening to the greats. In this course Dáithí Sproule will introduce you to a variety of great Irish instrumentalists and singers — and examine the fascinating question of what makes each one great. Dáithí has found it immensely helpful and rewarding, when on his musical path, to be pointed towards a certain musician or singer as worthy of closer listening and learning. In this class, he hopes to pass some of that on to you.

Class will meet on: June 10, June 17, June 24, July 15, July 22, July 29
