This collection of original Irish music offers moderately advanced students the chance to become better acquainted with this style of playing. The pieces in Irish Melodies vary from the quick, upbeat jig, to the more calm & lyrical ballads. They can be played around the house or at performances, as Irish music touches the hearts of us all. Arranged by Joachim Johow. The CD contains two versions of each melody: a complete demo performance & a play-along track.
