Welcome to the rhythm of Ireland! Embrace its traditional music by playing its ancient frame drum, the bodhran. It's one of the traditional percussion instruments played to accompany jigs, reels, hornpipes, slip jigs, polkas and other types of the Celtic dance music. It adds a strong, remarkably compelling, rhythmic drive to the already spirited, frequently fierce music played in Celtic circles. The bodhran bestows a rich bass tone to the mix, adding a nice low compliment to the high pitched instruments like the fiddle, concertina, flute, and penny whistle usually featured in this genre.
Begin exploring this unique instrument and its place in traditional Irish music. Start here if you’re interested in continuing into the general Bodhran class and the Irish Session Ensemble.
