Session Tunes

In addition to the tunes taught at Boston Harbor, there are a number of "Session" tunes common to many Boston area Scottish fiddlers. Learn just one a week, and by 2009 you'll have quite a list!

Sheet music of these and more tunes are available from the Music Director, Barbara McOwen. Get in touch if you'd like more tune ideas! Also, see Lance Ramshaw's Slow Jam website for additional tune lists and other resources.
