Medford musicians Matt and Shannon Heaton begin their fourth year of hosting a Virtual Guided Session on Saturday afternoons. Tune learners, second instrument players, or anyone who enjoys traditional Irish music are welcome for moderately paced Irish tunes and upbeat chat, and connection with other trad music lovers. Resources/tunes lists can be found on Shannon’s website. Join the global community in the live session via YouTube. Cost is free, but virtual tip jars are available via PayPal or through Venmo at ShannonHeatonMusic.

The spring schedule will have the Heatons hosting Virtual Guided Sessions at their usual time on the first and third Saturdays of April and May, with a special “Slow Slow Fast(er)” VGS offered at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, April 29.
