La Ollamh (Slip Jig) - We start our conversation about recommended listening. We look at another element of ornamentation called tapping. You will do a short exercise to practise this ornament. You will learn the tune in segments accompanied by live ABC music notation to help with phrases. You will also insert other elements of ornamentation learned during level 2.
