The Turtle Session is a bi-monthly guided session lead by Colleen Freeman that is designed to familiarize intermediate musicians with the form and etiquette of a traditional session and get more comfortable playing tunes at a faster speed. We don't use sheet music during the session, giving musicians an opportunity to develop strategies for tune acquisition, both on the fly and in their home practice. I begin each session by teaching a tune by ear, after which we typically go around the circle and everyone who wants to, picks a tune to play. We play a range of fiddle styles, mainly Irish/Scottish, Oldtime/Bluegrass and Swedish/Norwegian with a few Swing tunes and singing songs sprinkled in.
All instruments welcome! |
Turtle Session meets twice per month on 2nd and 4th Wednesdays from 6 - 8pm at rotating locatons.
