with Pete Cooper

Pete will teach in person on Wednesday evenings at Cecil Sharp House, then on Thursday evenings give the same class from home on Zoom. You can join him for either session...
...
or even, at no extra charge, both!
In this intermediate/advanced level class Pete will teach traditional jigs,reels, hornpipes and airs, some from his books 'The Complete Irish Fiddle Player' (Mel Bay Publications, 1995) and 'Irish Fiddle Solos' (Schott ED 12734), others from elsewhere. As usual, he will send an audio clip of the tune of the week, or a YouTube link, a day or two in advance, then teach it by ear at the class, phrase by phrase, fingering and bowing. Participants receive the notation and a video afterwards. Each session starts with a few minutes of gentle, yoga-based warm-up exercises.
'Pete’s teaching seems to somehow highspeed and hardwire the music into the brain’
- Sheila Hill, The Guardian
