In this new workshop series, we will take an in-depth look into all aspects of session playing from the very basics to the advanced stages accompaniment.

Kicking things off with the very important (and often misunderstood) session etiquette for bodhrán players. Have you ever wondered if it's okay to join in, where to sit, when to play, how loud to play, etc.? There are often so many questions in one’s head when it comes to session playing and the goal of this workshop is to answer as many questions as possible to make your session experience the least bit stressful and most importantly, fun! We will also discuss the importance of tuning your drum head as well as tipper selection which can both play a very essential role in your session accompaniment.
