Session & Workshop Etiquette

Our goal is to have a relaxed environment where everyone feels comfortable to play music.  While this process takes time and patience and getting to know each other, a few simple guidelines can also help.  Please consider the following when joining our session:

  • Spend some time observing how the session is run before jumping in with tunes.
  • Tune your instrument and check to see if you are in tune with the group.
  • Treat musicians of all levels with respect.  It’s a small community and you will surely meet those people again.
  • We would prefer to have no percussion at all (bodhran, bones, etc.) at the slow session.
  • During the regular session, it's best NOT to have two of the SAME percussion instruments playing at one time (take turns), bones and bodhran usually work together.
  • Percussion or other instruments should not be too loud.
  • Bones should not be played for every tune (skip some).

OK! Now it’s been said. Please come frequently and have lots of fun!  Bantering is not a problem.

See you at the session...
