One of the main aims of a traditional musician will be to gather appropriate repertoire in order to play with other musicians, either in a formal or informal setting. The tunes will generally be taught by ear (Without music) with the written music handed out at the end of the class. At Fun Fiddle our aim is to create a common repertoire for all participants, teaching simpler tunes to the more advanced players and easy accompaniments for more challenging tunes to those who are just beginning to play.
