Celtic Hall "Medium"
Session. - this is a new session which hopefully will encourage people
who don't have a large repertoire of tunes, and maybe not up to regular
session tempos to come out and play some music. We would like to use
material from the Old Songs and Comhaltas slow sessions, along with the
usual "session standards", and have it in an environment where
people can be comfortable with making mistakes and not being familiar
with all the tunes.
The first meeting is scheduled for Sunday April 29 2:00 to 4:00 at Celtic Hall, 430 New Karner Road, Albany, NY. http://celtichall.org/
Its about a 1/4 mile north of the intersection of Routes 5 and 155 on
the west side of New Karner. The main entrance is on the south side of
the building. The next meeting will be May 13th.
We will try to run this as a typical session, and everyone will
have the opportunity to select a set of 1 to 3 tunes to play. Each tune
would have 3 repeats. (it's a good idea to have sets picked out ahead of
time to avoid the usual mental block of being put on the spot). People
are encouraged to play without music as much as possible - don't worry
about mistakes, that's how we learn.
This session will be open to all levels. Experienced players are welcome to participate and offer support, comments etc.
