Traditional Irish Music Examinations

About

In designing the LSMD traditional Irish music syllabus, the particular skills of the learner are taken into account; these include memory, aural, technique, interpretation, contextual and music reading skills. A wide element of choice is facilitated; learners can select from a broad suggested repertoire, or perform a tune/set of their own choice of equal standard.
