Irish Dancer 56

Just another Irish dancer/musician. 

[i-am-not-at-home]

Crappy video quality as always, but here’s an arrangement I made recently of one of my favorite Irish tunes. Original.

For those of you who are still here, I’m alive...maybe :)

I’ve forgotten the name of this reel, so I guess that means I’m finally a true trad musician now lol

[irish-dancer-56]

NICE! :D

[irish-dancer-56]

Hi there! Irish dance music on the piano is so great!! You play so well. My favourite is heartland, it's such a pity that the track is not to be found in any of the Riverdance CD's... any idea where I could get a good recording of that magical tune? thanks a lot!!! Stan, Irish Dancer from France...

Thanks!

And I know what you mean with Heartland. I haven’t had any luck finding a recording of that one. :(

[irish-dancer-56]

Did you arrange American Wake yourself? Or do you have the sheet music for it? Anything I'm finding online isn't great...

(Sorry for the late answer)

Yes, I arranged it! :) 

I would do sheets, but the entire left hand part is always improvised, so it may take a while.

Okay but I seriously love your music so much like I see you playing with Sean O'Brien at worlds or something

Thanks! I would LOVE to play at worlds

[irish-dancer-56]

Also, do you have a CD or do you put your music on itunes? I'll buy it :D

Someday, someday.

How do you manage to fit the dancing, music, and everything else in your life? I can barely manage dance and school 😂😩

Patience. And ice cream.

Hello! What is the name of the Liz Carroll slip jig you did a piano cover of? It's soooo beautiful :)

It’s called “Liam Childs”

This is the fastest I have ever written a tune! Took me 5 minutes. :D

[irish-dancer-56]

Officially named this jig: Frolic. :)

[pointtoesforwhat]

When is your first album coming out.

[irish-dancer-56]

As soon as I finish planning it out. I’m still figuring out which tunes work best together, and finishing up some new tunes as well. :)

art takes hours to produce and seconds to consume so dont act suprised when artists get upset when their posts only get likes and no reblogs

similarly a piece of writing that takes a few minutes to read could have weeks of work behind it… dont take creativity for granted when ur getting it for free

AT LONG LAST

SOMEONE SAID IT

[irish-dancer-56]

This.

[irish-dancer-56]

I know how to strengthen my ankles with therabands, but how does one loosen ankles? 

[theshinybuckles]

Write the alphabet with your foot. Make circles with your foot several times in each direction.

Off the top of my head.

Also research ankle mobility exercises. This loosens and strengthens ankles.

[irish-dancer-56]

Nice, I’ll try that.

Instructor: Turn out your feet more.

Me: If I could, I would, but I can't, so I shan't.
