Tune Class - The Reel Deal w/ Eimear Arkins
Kick off the new year with Eimear Arkins, host of the next Tune Series "The Reel Deal." Take a deep dive into how to get the bounce and swing into Irish reels. Eimear has six Irish tunes to share, along with ornamentation and bow techniques to give your fiddlin' a "reely" Irish flair.

Contact us for more details on what to expect and whether Eimear's Tune Series is a good fit for you.
