Buille
Hailed in the Irish Times as “As fresh a
breath that’s blown through traditional and
roots
circles in a long, long time,” Creative Spark
is proud to bring this powerhouse band to our
stage
as part of their cross-country tour.
Their name in Irish means beat and their
boundary-pushing music has hit upon something
new.
Rooted in traditional music but combined with
jazz and classical strains,
the band combines virtuosic concertina,
riffing acoustic piano and driving guitar
to create a fresh, potent sound.
All ages’ welcome.
7:30 p - Monday, May 19
at Creative Spark.
Tickets: $15, available in advance and at the
door. |

Workshop - "Instant Piano for Hopelessly Busy
People"
As seen on
GOOD MORNING AMERICA: Learning to play the
piano need not be a tortuous
regimen of scales, exercises, note-reading,
counting and theory.
Take a few entertaining hours to learn how to
play the piano the way the pros do
- with chords. Save time and money with this
innovative approach that shows you the easy
way to play
several songs right in class -- then develop
your techniques at home using the 60-minute
class workbook and CD.
This is a beginning course in chord piano that
also works for those who play traditional
piano
- we use the same learning techniques as the
Public Television program “Play Piano in a
Flash.”
You’ll be playing your favorite songs soon
after this one session.
Note: for a free start-up pamphlet on reading
treble clef quickly & easily:
