In music, an accent is an emphasis, stress, or stronger attack placed on a particular note or set of notes, or chord, either as a result of its context or specifically indicated by an accent mark. Accents contribute to the articulation and prosody of a performance of a musical phrase. This video is all about developing your control and consistency playing accents on bodhrán, and how accents can make your playing more expressive.

I’m Ruairi Glasheen, and I’m a percussionist, composer and filmmaker based in London. I’ve been playing bodhrán since I was 4 years old and I simply love this instrument! This is the first episode in a NEW SERIES of technique tutorials where I’ll share with you my approach to playing this instrument so please comment below any suggestions or requests you might have!
