Join the session! In this class, we introduce the repertoire of the Irish Session, but we play at moderate tempos for less experienced players.
Learn to play jigs, reels, hornpipes, etc. as we explore the vast body of instrumental traditional Irish music arranged for the mandolin and tenor banjo. We’ll learn phrasing, right and left hand techniques and even a little background to the music that, since “crossing the pond,” has become an integral and dynamic part of the American musical landscape. Written material will be provided in standard notation, TAB, as well as basic accompaniment chords. Irish Tenor Banjo, Octave Mandolin and other fretted instruments tuned to G, D, A, E are welcome!
