Practicing Irish Tunes with Hatao - Website

Hatao is a a flute player from Japan. He's been deeply immersed in Irish music since the age of 18. He visited Ireland many times and learned from wonderful musicians and teachers such as Eamonn Cotter, Paul McGrattan, and Harry Bradley. Nowadays he works as a professional musician and music teacher.


He runs a YouTube channel where he posts a tune nearly every day. He also often posts Sets of tunes on his channel. So this is not bouzouki related but might be a good start if you want to practice playing melody or want to try accompaniment. Until now he released nearly 700 videos of tunes and 300 sets of tunes. 


He also has a Patreon called "Learn an Irish tune every day.


He now launched a website/webapp
 where you have access to all of his videos via a search engine implemented. Lets say you want to find a jig in A Dorian just fill in Double Jig and A Dorian and the result will be all of tunes he uploaded in this key. I find this very helpful.

Irish Flute Tunes

I came across this site by accident. I was looking for the notation of Crowley's reel and found this great site. Lots of Flute tunes to be found here. Michael plays them on his flute, once slow and then faster. Great work, if you don't have a flute player just capture his playing and accompany him. Good for trying different backings. Sounds better than playing to midi flutes on my sequencer.
