Monday 22nd – Friday 26th July 2024 | 10am – 1pm | Ulster University, York Street, BT15 1ED

This class is designed for adults only and will focus on building tune repertoire and some ornamentation/technical considerations will be discussed.

Mirella Murray hails from county Galway and learnt under the guidance of Mary Finn. Having performed nationally and internationally, artists such as Sharon Shannon, Lunasa and the Bumblebees credit her as a source of uncommon melodies through her vast collection of tunes from her travels. She is a highly regarded tutor with a flair for teaching having had multiple students gain All-Ireland titles. 

The Summer School’s team of tutors is made up of internationally renowned performers with proven track records as teachers and educationalists. The primary means of teaching and learning will be ‘by ear’ with an emphasis in the less experienced classes of assisting pupils to develop oral/aural skills in addition to instrumental competency and developing core repertoire. All classes are designed for intermediate to advanced (minimum 2 years instrument experience) adults and children over 6 years of age except bodhrán, set dancing, sean nós dancing, traditional singing & sean nós singing which are suitable for beginners.
