Once a month, Powers fiddle instructor Ellery Klein leads an Irish music session geared towards those who are learning the repertoire and want to play it at a moderate pace.
Ellery will post the next new “Tune of the Month” online ahead of the session– a jig, reel, slide, polka, hornpipe, or air (slower tune). The first five minutes of the next session will be spent playing the tune at a slower pace.
The rest of the session will work off a common tune list, as well as any special Irish tunes from you or other attendees.

Who should come?
Everyone is welcome! While aimed at adults, players of any age are welcome to attend. If you don’t know a tune, sitting back and listening is encouraged, as is quietly trying to catch a few notes, or recording on your phone.
Email Ellery with any questions at [email protected]
Sessions will be held the third Thursday of the month from 7:00-8:30 PM at Powers unless otherwise noted.
Check this webpage for upcoming session dates, and feel free to just show up!
Adding your name to the mailing list is encouraged so we can let you know about any changes to the schedule (instructors getting sick, etc).
Suggested Donation: $20 at the door
