ABC notation of the tunes

On Mondays, a set of 2-3 tunes will be uploaded to the website/YouTube playlist, so you can work on them for the week. ABC notation will also be included on the website.

Saturdays from Noon-1 the group will meet in ZOOM to help each other, play together, and discuss what we’ve been working on. Shannon will act as facilitator of the Saturday gatherings to give people whatever they need, be it playing the tunes with others, work on ornamentation or variation, or talking about different approaches.

Sean-nós online supports dancers and musicians from around the globe in the skills and practice of Irish traditional music and dance.
