Abstract

Irish traditional music acquisition used to be restricted to specific regions and focused on personal instruction. Now that the individual player is being replaced by larger, less-personal groups of musicians, the question of how traditional learning is being accomplished becomes more critical.

Seznanjanje z irsko tradicijsko glasbo je bilo v preteklosti omejeno na specifične regije in se je opiralo na individualno poučevanje. Danes, ko posameznika nadomeščajo večje, manj osebne skupine glasbenikov, postaja vedno pomembnejše vprašanje, kako poučevati tradicijo.
