Mandolin Progressions, taught by Paddy Cummins, is designed to follow on from OAIM.ie course Mandolin Basics. The aim of the course is to take the Mandolin player who already has a few simple tunes up their sleeve to the next level of playing. Focus will be placed on slightly more challenging techniques: triplets, hammer-on techniques, pull-offs, flicks, cuts, slides, variation and the use of moveable chords.

Paddy will teach some tunes in more challenging keys as the mastering of complex finger shapes will mould the player into a more flexible musician. He will also present a tutorial on the well known Slow Air ‘A Stor Mo Chroi’. By the end of this course, you can expect to have broadened your repertoire with a range of different tune types, have a thorough knowledge of various mandolin techniques, and have a deeper understanding of the Irish music tradition.
