What participants say…

"I thoroughly enjoy the company on a Wed evening. The gentle pace gives me time to read music and hear the detail in Mairi's playing. It’s technical and practical, a great combination"

"Mairi's slow sessions have been hugely inspiring and motivating! Taking tunes at a modest pace together with Mairi's exercises and hints has made an enormous difference not only to my repertoire but also to my technique. Playing with others from around the world is great fun."

"I loved it when you said not to worry about the length of notes shown - it feels liberating to be able to take the tune as you hear it and try to respond intuitively. The loop and recorded tunes are brilliant for self learning."
