Sunday Slow Session đâïž
Beoir Beer House, Calle Segura 8,, Alicante, ESWelcome to the âSlow Sessionâ - a beginner-friendly space to learn âtrad music.â
ButâŠwhat is âtrad music?â And whatâs âa session?â AndâŠwhy the hell is it SLOW?!
So glad you asked đ
âïž Trad music is loosely defined as anything ranging from Irish and Scottish music to North American folk.
đ¶ A session is basically a time when musicians gather in a circle and play âtunesâ together that they know. These tunes are typically in the trad music genre.
đ And a Slow Session is exactly that: a session where people play slowly. It is designed for beginners with the purpose of learning the music slowly, not just for performing or jamming. And when we say âbeginners,â we mean: A) those who are at the beginner stages of learning their instrument, or B) those who can already play their instrument, but are new to this particular type of music (like so many of us classically-trained musicians đ ). Sheet music can be used for those who need it.
Who is this event for?
- Anyone who wants to learn âtradâ music
- Experienced players in Irish/âtradâ music who are patient to play with learners (and help them) đ
- People who donât play music but are just curious to watch and listen. You can hang out, have a drink, have some food, and be a cheerleader!
What to bring?
- Your own instrument
- Music stand - if you need (We will have a few copies of music that we can share - for those that need)
- P a t i e n c e đđđ
All acoustic* instruments are welcome, such asâŠ
- Fiddle
- Acoustic guitar
- Banjo
- Mandolin
- Tin whistle
- Pipes
- Concertina
- Voice
- Bodhran / hand drum
*Weâd prefer to avoid electric/amplified instruments just because it could easily overpower the group.
Tunes weâll play at this first, trial Slow Session:
- Morrisonâs Jig
- Kesh Jig
- Swallowtail Jig
- Westphalia Waltz
- The Parting Glass
- Skye Boat Song
- The South Wind
