An Paistin Fionn - This is a beautiful jig to play. It is a simple tune with a great rhythm. You will hear the tune played through first. Then you will learn the tune in smaller segments. During each segment you will imbed suitable ornamentation into that segment of the tune. Each part will be played after you learn it. Then, towards the end of the lesson you will play through the tune several times at different speeds starting at a learner’s pace. We discuss some tips for competition playing also during the lesson.
