So yesterday I was blessed with the news that I will be able to continue guitar and violin lessons. I won two scholarships to the Irish Cultural Center academy, one for guitar lessons and last week I won one for fiddle lessons. I am very thankful for this because there were only 5 scholarship's being granted, and I won two of them! They are not complete scholarships because you have to pay a potion of the fee's, but it covers a good amount of the cost.
But please pray for my fiddle teacher (Jane) she will not be teaching this term because she has gotten sick. I don't know what it is (they won't tell us), but am told is is serious and she'll be taking a good time off teaching.
So this term Pat the guitar teacher will be teaching the fiddle class; I know your wondering "how does a guitar teacher teach fiddle?". Well, he will be teaching us how to play with other players in Irish sessions (like a jam), including session etiquette. And he will be teaching us CĂ©ili (i think that's the right word, it sounds like 'Kailey') style. Which uses the same tunes, but has a different tempo and style. I know it's played faster; it uses tempos especially for dancers.
So I also have another post idea, but on different topic. So when I have time I'll post it.
BTW I just finished my first practice essay for my studying, hopefully it's not to terrible.
