CELTIC SONG CIRCLE
Relax and enjoy a session of singing beautiful songs with others, accompanied by Celtic harp. No singing experience is necessary.
All are welcome! Any songs you don't know you will learn by ear (lyrics provided) and be able to sing with everyone. It feels great! "When I sing, trouble can sit right on my shoulder and I don't even notice." ~ Sarah Vaughan |

PENNY WHISTLE WORKSHOP / LESSONS
For those who would like to start learning the basics of Irish penny whistle. Simple Celtic tunes, ornaments and breathing and finger techniques will be covered. The penny whistle is affordable and easy to carry with you, but its a bit trickier to play than it looks. Amy will help you master some of the skills you'll need to truly enjoy this sweetest of instruments. Music provided ahead of time if requested, and provided at the workshop on the day. Amy can also provide a whistle if requested ahead of time.

SLOW SESSION
For anyone interested in playing Irish session tunes - but you're not a pro yet, and you'd love to play in a session with other players. The tunes will be played at slower speeds, and you'll be allowed to use music if you like (but of course you are encouraged to learn off by heart!). Especially airs, waltzes, polkas and jigs - with a couple of slow reels and hornpipes. Build your Irish repertoire while learning in a no-stress atmosphere. Tunes will be chosen from Amy's list of popular session tunes and sent ahead of time so no one is sight-reading at the session.
Instruments for a session include: fiddles, accordions, penny whistles, flutes, uillean pipes & acoustic guitar. Players of all ages and abilities are welcome.
2 hours, min. 4 participants to run
