*In-Person Class*
Join Norah Rendell for a continuation of last year's Introduction to Tin Whistle for Kids class.The tin whistle is a rewarding Irish instrument and a great fit for young musicians with small hands. Norah will continue to build your child's skills (adding an ornament or two) as you learn a few new tunes this fall: polkas, marches, jigs and songs. Hands-on parental support is needed for regular practice at home.
*In-Person Class*
Kate will teach a lovely new whistle tune each week and introduce basic (optional) ornaments such as cuts and rolls. At the end of this course, you'll know a tune from every rhythm family! Each class will include some review of previously-learned tunes, so you will see your repertoire build each week. All budding whistle players who know at least 3 tunes are welcome to join Kate!Please note that in addition to CIM holidays, this class will not be meet on: September 26, October 24, or November 28.

An Luan has been together for many years, and is always on the lookout for new members - especially melody players on fiddle, concertina or accordion! This experienced group of musicians has a history of performing regularly around the Twin Cities with a large repertoire of session tunes and not-so-well-known tunes since 2010. They strive to play great music together and have fun while they are at it.
New and interested students, please contact Brian Miller at dadgadguy@gmail.com before enrolling.
Open to all CIM youth musicians!

If you know many tunes and have a fair amount of CIM instruction under your belt, come join this fun Monday evening adult ensemble!New and interested students, please contact Brian Miller at dadgadguy@gmail.com before enrolling.
*Online Class*
We are lucky enough to have an abundance of old stories preserved in manuscripts dealing with Otherworld creatures and legendary kings, queens and heroes. In this class Dáithí and students will be reading translations of the old myths and legends — these always give rise to fascinating and entertaining conversations, often with lessons for the present. This class will be dealing with stories not covered in previous sessions.
*In Person Class*
Adjacent to the ensemble program, and extra special for fiddlers only, this group is a class designed to equip CIM students with skills and techniques to advance in our ensemble program. This class will work on five basics of building your ‘Irish’ style: posture, intonation, tone, musicality, and new tunes. We’ll primarily focus on tone as it relates to intonation and posture through easy exercises, ‘tone vitamins’, and exploration of our instruments! This is a non-performing group.
