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...
