Overview
James Cleveland, Mondays, 8pm–9:30pm
8 weekly sessions beginning September 22
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
Please note that there will be no class on Monday, October 13, in observance of Indigenous People's Day.
