Another One Hundred Tunes” Published October 25, 2013
O’Flaherty Irish Music Retreat “Another One Hundred Tunes” Published October 25, 2013 We decided to issue a third tunebook in celebration of the tenth year of the O’Flaherty Irish Music Retreat. It is hard to believe that a decade has passed since we held our first event at the Springhill Retreat Center in Richardson, Texas back in October of 2004. None of us who organized that first event had any indication that it would grow as it has. What started as a small local music camp has given rise to a well-respected international camp attracting participants from near and far. We have been successful over the years because of two primary factors – good teachers and good learners. Fortunately, we have never had a shortage of either so we have not only survived, but have expanded greatly in both scope and size since our founding. There is one other factor of our success that is important to remember – the music itself. Traditional Irish music is unlike any music I’ve known. On one hand, I have seldom encountered music more difficult to master. Playing “authentically” is the goal but that goal can take years if not a lifetime of listening, practicing and playing. On the other hand, the music by its nature is so accessible that it permits players to engage in it at any level of ability. It is not uncommon for experienced players to encourage novices and help establish a connection with this remarkable music tradition. That connection is the essence of what we try to do at our retreat – pass on the music as musicians have done in Ireland for centuries. -

First Feis Tips
What is a Feis? A feis is an Irish Dance Competition. It is loud, crowded, exciting, exasperating, exhilarating, fun, and tiring. A feis rarely runs on time. Filling Out the Feis Entry Form There are four things you must know when completing a feis registration form for your child. 1) Send in your forms early. Irish dancing is very popular and competitions reach their caps quickly. Many feisianna (plural of feis) use the “efeis” system or an online entering system.. Hey, we’re in the “know”! 2) Know the level at which your child is dancing. An Coimisiun le Rinci Gaelacha (the governing body for Irish Dancing) has set guidelines for levels and level advancement. The T.C.R.G. (Certified Irish Dance Teacher) of your individual school can require stricter guidelines. Beginner: A dancer who is in their first year. They have not taken Irish Dance classes with a certified teacher prior to September 1st of the current year. Summer beginner workshops do NOT affect beginner status. Advanced Beginner: Dancers move to Advanced Beginner after completion of the Beginner level. Novice A dancer who has placed 1st or 2nd as an Advanced Beginner in reel, light jig, and slip jig in a feis sanctioned by the North American Feis Commission (N.A.F.C.) of five competitors or more. Prizewinner: A dancer who has placed 1st in all four required dances as a Novice dancer in a feis sanctioned by the N.A.F.C. of five competitors or more. Preliminary Champion: A dancer who has placed 1st in all four required dances as a Prizewinner dancer in a feis sanctioned by the N.A.F.C. -
