Building an Irish traditional repertoire learning from dot free charts

What happens when an IT professional in early retirement decides after 40 years of traditional German sessions to “start a new career” and to build up a repertoire in irish traditional music?

And what if the person has spent most of her professional life teaching?
And what if learning has become much more difficult for her as she gets older?

She starts creating witty charts to help her on her quest and shares them for free with other evolving  ITM musicians. Enjoy!

Even though I’m not irish, I’m at least a redhead 😉

VIsual

I am a musician and yet a visual learner

By Ear

I can pick up melodies by ear – but not (yet?) from a reel played at battle speed.

Do it your way

I’m not trying to convince you that dotfree infographics are THE one way to success – because I don’t know and it might be completely different for you.

I’m sharing my learning materials with anyone who might be interested.

All materials from DotfreeTrad.com are free of charge

Enjoy and share, if you like, what I do. Personally, I’m not on social media – I have better things to do (guess what  😉 )
