If you can play simple melodies on your instrument (fiddle, accordion, mandolin, whistle, flute harp, etc.), you can begin to create a repertoire of jigs, reels, hornpipes, and waltzes. Ability to read music NOT required. We will listen and play--so bring your instruments (and a recording device). Soon you'll be prepared to join a Celtic music session.
