Learning Sessions

You've been listening to Irish music for awhile, bought a tin whistle, flute, drum, fiddle or guitar but never really got started - well now is the time!

An open Learning Session is held at the Irish Center on the 4th Friday of the month. You get a chance to play along with the tunes at a slower tempo in a very relaxed atmosphere.

Details of session:

The tune will be announced along with the key; each tune will be played 3 times at a slower tempo to allow you to hear the melody and play along. New tunes will be added as we go along.

The room Will be open about 7:00 pm and the session will start at 7:30 pm and end at 9:00 pm. Please have your instrument in-tune and ready to play at 7:30.
