| This
page shows the tunes we are currently playing at the Irish session on
Tuesday at 8.15pm. As new tunes are taught, new
sets are added. Recordings, sheet music and other aids to learning
are available on the A-Z Tunes Resource page.
Sessions are for playing tunes.
Everyone is muted except the leader, allowing melody players to play confidently without fear of
putting another group member off track. Guitarists, piano players
and percussionists get the chance to
experiment with different chords and styles. This is a great opportunity to play
Irish tunes with an experienced fiddle player and Irish Ceili band, The
Perfect Cure.
Access to the Tune
Recordings resource is via your username and password. A fee of £50
provides full access for a year to include 5 weeks of lessons.
Thereafter, lessons are £10 a week - only pay in weeks you attend.

session choose the tune or tune set you would like to play.
Recordings and visual aids are on the A-Z index so readers can join in
straight away, or try to learn as you go by playing along, as this is the
best way to learn and remember a tune.
Play along with the Perfect Cure ceili band whom you will meet at
the sessions.

more Irish tunes on the A-Z Tunes Resource Page. These may

Sets
At "sessions" and for
"Irish set dance", tunes are played in a "set" with
other tunes. (In Irish set dance, a set could refer to a
"set" of 4 couples and it could refer to a collection of
"figures" that comprise a "set". For example,
the Connemara Set. In Irish step dance a Set Dance is one danced to
prescribed dance steps and has its own particular tune, also called a set
dance!) Brush
up on tunes with the help of recordings on the A-Z Tunes page which are
played at learning pace with solo fiddle and also at various playing
speeds with the band. There are many more variations of recordings
by the Perfect Cure Ceili Band at our sessions. |
