Why learn to play the Bodhran?

Playing Bodhran improves your coordination, making hand-eye focus pinpoint perfect, with quick reflexes, good balance, and an excellent sense of rhythm.

In these bodhrán lessons, you will very quickly learn how to play a simple rhythm for a reel, an Irish dance tune with 4 beats, and a jig, an Irish dance tune with 6 beats. After your first few lessons, you will be accompanying live Irish music.

Our Bodhran lessons include the following:

• Holding the bodhrán correctly
• Holding the beater
• Basic Bodhran strokes and variations
• Reel and jig patterns
• Other traditional rhythms (polkas, hornpipes, slip jigs, etc.)
• Left-hand technique and varying the pitch of your bodhrán
• Bodhrán care and maintenance

By the end of this Bodhran course, you will have the confidence to play a variety of Irish traditional rhythms and accompany other instruments, both solo and in sessions.
