  • 2 – Early Intermediate – playing for a while, still working on basic/early techniques and increasing repertoire, or new to Irish music. May not yet be totally comfortable playing at session speed.
  • 3- Late Intermediate – familiar and comfortable with basic techniques, starting to apply more advanced techniques, can play a number of tunes at session speed.
