My neighbors complain about the electric guitar in the next building. Imagine their reaction to bagpipes! Almost worth the investment.

Fantastic news, Alice! Thanks so much for the headsup on this one. How did you hear about this?

Just checked my email and found this description of Scoiltrad on my IRTRAD digest:

The world's first virtual interactive music school will be launched in early March from West Cork. Scoiltrad will initially offer on line tuition on the main traditional instruments: fiddle, flute, and pipes - with banjo and guitar to follow in the weeks after. The classes will be multimedia based with fully intergrated audio/visual clips of techniques, ornamentation variation etc. There will also be a facility for the students to have access to the teacher for advice and guidance, by sending mp3 recordings of their playing to the teacher for assessment. The teachers involved are Conal O'Grada - flute, Eoin O'Riabhaigh - pipes, and Kevin Glackin - fiddle. It is also envisaged that guest teachers will from time to time be providing lessons.

Sounds pretty interesting -- I hope that the 'tuition' cost won't be prohibitive, though.

Hey it looks great:0)

Wondering what will they do that is not already online?

There is a big debate out here about basic skills on Fiddle, lots of students are playing advanced tunes with elementary Bow tech, seems to me -and I pulay Irish Trad since the 70's- that some are running before they can stand up.

But that is just an opinion of course. The stand up drills are easily found on net and would make a big improvement to basic Bowing skill.

I'm just about to sign up for one of the tin whistle courses -- Have any of you other 'Catters 'taken' one of the lessons on Scoiltrad? If so, can you tell me what you thought of it?

Thanks, Áine
