Introduction to the Traditional Irish Session

James Cleveland, Mondays, 8pm–9:30pm

8 weekly sessions beginning April 15
No class on May 27 in observance of Memorial Day

This class will be held in person in the Library Classroom.

A session (seisiún in Irish) is a gathering of musicians playing traditional tunes, often in a pub. Sessions are super fun, but can be intimidating for the uninitiated. This 90-minute class will serve as an introduction to playing in a group, session etiquette, and putting together sets and common tunes. Most of all, it will be a slow session. We will play tunes at a comfortable tempo, about half the speed (or even slower) than a traditional pub session.

Level: Advanced Beginner/Intermediate.
