- by-ear-informal
- Assertion
- Bluegrass draws on communal knowledge of repertoire, has historically been transmitted aurally and orally, is commonly played by ear, and is often played informally by musicians who have not rehearsed together.
- Quote
Both bluegrass and instrumental dance music in Irish traditional music utilise group-based community practice, meaning that musicians play together informally and not always in a “band” or “ensemble” scenario where material is rehearsed.
