An Introduction to Early Ireland 400-1000 A.D.
Online*Online Class*
This is the period in which Irish history begins, a dazzling and complex world, quite unlike ours, of many competing kingdoms and dynasties whose place in society was built through force, but bolstered by mythology and the learned orders of poets, historians and judges. It was a Christian period of monasteries overlaying deep pre-Christian Celtic tradition where great art, beautiful poetry and a rich a varied literature were fostered, and also the era when the Viking invasions came, which destroyed much but contributed much as well. Dáithí Sproule will provide a window into this fascinating world.

Introduction to Tin Whistle for Kids, Year 2
The Center for Irish Music 836 Prior Avenue North, Ste. 400, St. PaulJoin Norah Rendell for a continuation of last year's Introduction to Tin Whistle for Kids class. The tin whistle is a rewarding Irish instrument and a great fit for young musicians with small hands.
Norah will continue to build your child's skills (adding an ornament or two) as you learn a few new tunes this fall: polkas, marches, jigs and songs. Hands-on parental support is needed for regular practice at home.
This class is not open to new students. Check out Introduction to Tin Whistle for Kids, Year 1 on Thursdays with Carmen Pasquerella if you're new to tin whistle!

Pub songs are raucous, tuneful, and above all, fun! But like the most intricate reel, you need skill and a concentrated approach to play and sing them well. Todd will teach the vocal techniques and rhythmic strategies needed to help you stand and deliver these wonderful ballads and drinking songs. All instruments encouraged.
