In this lesson, you’ll learn the reel “Anything for John Joe.” It’s what is often called a “half reel” or “single reel,” meaning there are only 16 measures in the whole tune. Marla starts by playing “Anything for John Joe” through a couple times and then takes it apart slowly, phrase by phrase.

The first tune in the key of C you’ll learn is the lovely reel “The Kerryman’s Daughter.” Marla starts by going through the C major scale and explaining what she means by “its modal counterparts”: modes that use the C major scale—D Dorian, G Mixolydian, and A Aeolian. Then she shows you the melody of both parts of “The Kerryman’s Daughter,” which has a single A part and a double B part.
