Description
Flute player Shannon Heaton and guitar player Matt Heaton created IN HARMONY to help newer players learn tunes; to help more experienced players (re)consider settings and rhythmic approaches; and to advance the conversation between melody, rhythm, and harmony for everybody.
This is not a complete collection of Irish tunes: it’s a quality selection of standard jigs, reels, hornpipes, and slip jigs, presented with care and consistency, from our kitchen to yours.
Each tune is played slowly and consistently (no variations til the third time through each tune). And we panned the flute hard left and guitar hard right, so you can play with ONLY melody or ONLY harmony for learning. We recommend listening on speakers and *not* headphones, if you choose to hear both instruments at the same time. All the sheet music includes chords, and we took care to notate the music just the way we played it.
Regardless of your level, we hope you will find it pleasing to join our relaxed tempo session. Wherever you are in your Irish music journey, there’s ample room at the table for you!
This download package comes with a PDF of the entire book and mp3s. Full track list below:
