TUNES
Name:
Legacy
Type:
Jig
Key:
G
(G A B C D E F#)
Level:
Intermediate
Use this first video to listen to the tune when it's represented in faster speed. So you know what the "end result" of the tune could sound like. This is how it could sound in a live session. Perhaps even faster. The videos should loop by themselves.
Use the second video play along and learn the tune at a much slower pace. (In the courses section, you can speed up / slow down the videos further). A great way to learn is to listen repeatedly again and again.
In the third video the content varies, (and most videos don't have a third video yet) but mostly I go through ornaments and details. These are very helpful when you want to learn the secrets of how to play the tunes properly in a "traditional manner". It may also be here when you learn the most.
AUDIO LOOPS

Use this to loop certain parts of the selected tune. Perfect to learn one part at a time. Listening over and over is a great way to learn the tune by ear. You can also download the audio files as a zip-file. In the courses section you can change the speed of the audio files.
DRONES
These two videos are drones of the first and the fifth note in the scale/key of the selected tune. You may turn on one or both of these together with the audio of the tune above and it should play simultaneously.
BODHRÁN METRONOME
Select rhythm and tempo, all audio will loop after approx. 10 minutes. You can have the metronome and the drones playing simultaneously.
For example, if you want to practice a jig in G, turn on Jig, and tempo of your choice, then G-Drone, if you want a more colorful drone in the background try turning on several (surrounding G) in the circle below.
DRONE CIRCLE
More tunes and tools are available in the premium version!
In the premium version, you'll find a circle of drones here where you can activate multiple drones at once, adjusting their volumes individually as they play simultaneously.

THIS IS JON ANTONSSON
I'm a professional flute player and teacher from Sweden!
My goal is to teach and inspire people to learn traditional music and play together!
I hold a bachelor's degree in music from the Academy of Music in Malmö, Sweden, and the University of Limerick in Ireland, where I immersed myself in traditional tunes and learned from the masters.

TESTIMONIALS
STUDENTS
Ingrid Mobacke - Sweden
"Jon is my great role model in flute playing, which is why it is so fortunate that he gives lessons! He has a kind and encouraging way with his students that makes me feel comfortable asking anything at all! It has always been exciting to explore the answers together and get help with how to reach my goals. I have had Jon as a teacher in both individual flute lessons, group flute lessons, and tune learning for various instruments, and I have always been satisfied with these lessons. I highly recommend Jon as a teacher!"
