You have got to be kidding me. This is the vaguest question ever.

Irish Music- How do you tell the difference between a reel, slip jig, light jig, etc?

February 172010

I am taking irish dance lessons, and I cannot identifiy what type of music I own. How do you tell the difference?
I have a basic working knowledge of reading and counting music.

Confusing, isn’t it? I like to buy my practice music that tells me the speed and the type, i.e. reel 143, etc.

I believe slip jigs are in 5/8 time, treble jigs are 3/3, reels are 4/4 and I think hornpipes are 2/4 (not sure.) Once you get your steps down, you will be able to hear the steps in the music. My daughter is able to discern steps that are compatible with reels and hornpipes in modern music. Give it some time and you will too, I bet.

Do the Irish really like the Irish music we hear in America?

November 272009

Music like Flogging Molly, the Pogues… I hear it in America but I was wondering if they were really popular in Ireland. And what kind of music is popular in Ireland?

I think everyone generally enjoys listening to this music in the pub, but tehre are only a few people who really love it and would listen to it in their own home. Most popular music is the same as Britain or the US, all that stuff in the charts. But you have all styles of music, just like anywhere else in the world. Everyone has their own taste.
