| Off She Goes, Part 1 |
In this lesson, you’ll learn your first Celtic jig: “Off She Goes.” Jigs are one of the most common Celtic dance styles and are in 6/8 time. Emerald starts by explaining jigs and suggests you think “jiggety-jiggety” to understand the 6/8 rhythm. “Off She Goes” is in the key of D, but it has a few more notes than the previous tunes you’ve learned. It also uses some arpeggiated phrases in the second part. Emerald walks you through the melody of the first part of “Off She Goes” in this video.
