The introductory group is for musicians who have never played any traditional music or haven't tried learning by ear. We learn tunes from lots of different traditions and styles and the focus is on building confidence. The group is open to any instruments, and no grades are required, but a basic knowledge of your instrument is required.
The main group gives instrumental musicians the chance to learn new repertoire at a faster pace, challenge themselves with different techniques, and have fun playing, arranging and performing together. The group is open to any instruments, and no grades are required, but you should be comfortable playing by ear.
The repertoire building group is a self-directed ensemble of proficient musicians creating, expanding and arranging traditional-style tunes with a view to taking them beyond the usual session-style format. We meet monthly, immediately after the main group.
