Practice the repetitive parts of learning until they feel satisfying rather than onerous — at your own pace, then in time.
The right notes in sequence, with no timing pressure. See each note, find it on your instrument, and build the shape of the tune.
Play along in time. Start at 25%, unlock faster tempos as your accuracy grows, and chase a perfect score at session speed.
Your repertoire is the achievement. Each tune you master at full speed is one you can play at a session.
The starter tunes. You’re learning the language.
A minimum viable repertoire — enough to attend most sessions and join in.
Comfortable at any session. You’ve earned the title: Sessionist.
Everyone plays the same notes across octaves — pick yours and Sessionist scores you on it.
“Learn these tunes, and you can sit down in a session anywhere in the world and, if invited to play, you won’t go wrong.”— the promise of the Irish session
