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).

Here is another online source for session etiquette.

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

See you at the session...
