In lessons 28 to 39 I will teach some of my favourite flute tunes. When we speed up these tunes they will be filled with strong suitable ornamentation that should in turn help you improve your playing skills.
Lesson 28 - O’Dea’s (Jig) - Here we will learn a beautiful jig. You will learn a new element of ornamentation called vibrato on the G & C. You will also be introduced to a G cut using your A finger as well as sliding to a B note. We look at the use of a D sharp key to slide into an E roll. All ornamentation you have learned from the start of level 2 will be embedded into different tunes over the course as you learn them. O’Dea’s will be played first, then broken up into sections. Each section will have suitable ornamentation. You will play through each part after you learn it. Then you will play the tune at a slow learning pace then speeding it. When speeding the tune up we will try to keep the ornaments that we have learned throughout the lesson. You will play it for a 3rd time even a little faster to see if you can keep all of the ingredients in your playing.
