I have been so heartened to read and hear how much the podcast is genuinely changing people's lives, filling in the missing gaps of knowledge to allow learner and newcomers to feel less anxious about Irish music sessions. The feedback has been astounding.
From almost 30 years experience of teaching adult musicians, I have been developing a framework that will help provide further in-depth knowledge of the etiquette and unspoken 'rules' in Irish music sessions. 'The Session Etiquette Explorer' uses the S.H.A.R.E. system which I have created (S = Scene, H = Handbook, A = Awareness, R = Relations, E = Excellence) - see below.
