Description
Introduction to the Traditional Irish Session (Fall 2024) (In Person)
James Cleveland, Mondays, 8pm–9:30pm
8 weekly sessions beginning September 30
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
Please note: There will be no class on October 14, in observance of Indigenous People’s Day, or on November 11, in observance of Veterans Day.
