Participants will learn the fundamentals of Irish music through a blend of theory and hands-on practice.<br>The teaching will primarily be by ear, staying true to tradition, though some sheet music will be provided to support the learning process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend using a C alto ocarina, an instrument that offers a wide range of expression and allows for a level of ornamentation not easily achieved with instruments like the simple flute or tin whistle. With its distinctive timbre, the ocarina is ideally suited for delving into the nuanced, ornamental aspects of Irish music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Active participation and attentive listening will be key to fully immersing yourself in the world of Irish music, making the workshop both educational and enjoyable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The workshop will be conducted in English and will last approximately 90 minutes.<br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-bootstrap-blocks-button\">\n\t<a\n\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.boxol.it\/Entroterre\/it\/event\/locarina-nella-musica-irlandese\/557830\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"btn btn-primary\"\n\t>\n\t\tBook your spot\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Robert Hickman is the creator of Pure Ocarinas, a bespoke workshop specializing in custom-made ocarinas, and the author of <em>Serious Ocarina Player<\/em> and <em>The Art of Ocarina Making<\/em>. He first discovered the ocarina in 2007 through a performance by David Eric Ramos on YouTube, and was immediately captivated by the instrument\u2019s unique sound. Since 2011, he has made the ocarina the central focus of his creations, compositions, and books.<br>His instruments are designed with an emphasis on ergonomics, and musically, his main interest lies in Irish and folk music, blending balfolk, contra, and ceilidh dance.<br>For several years, he has also been leading workshops at folk festivals across the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"lazyblock-faq-1Kd8Ih wp-block-lazyblock-faq\">\n<div class=\"block-faq \">\n    <div class=\"accordion\" id=\"accordion_faq\">\n\n        \n            <div class=\"single-accordion accordion-item\">\n                <div class=\"accordion-header\" id=\"heading_1\">\n                    <div class=\"accordion-button collapsed\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#collapse_1\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"collapse_1\">\n                        <div class=\"row align-items-center\">\n                            <div class=\"col-12\">\n                                <div class=\"accordion-question\">\n                                    Is the event accessible for people with disabilities?
