The Session Musician’s Bundle (Books 1 & 2)

Essential for Any Session Player

Five stars! The most valuable thing about having both books together is the range of difficulty. I used Book 1 to master the basics and am now working through the rewarding challenges in Book 2. It's the highest quality session resource available on the market, hands down.

I finally bought the Complete Bundle after dabbling for years. It was worth every penny! Having both Session Books (1 and 2) together gives me a complete, structured path to session mastery. The consistency in the notation and the lay-flat binding across all books is brilliant. This bundle saved me money and hours of searching for reliable resources.

Irish Traditional Session Music, Book 2

The Next Level Repertoire Builder

After mastering Book 1, this was the perfect progression. The tunes here are more complex and beautifully arranged. It’s definitely helped me move from just keeping up to actually leading a few sets. The continued clarity of the notation makes tackling the slightly trickier melodies much easier.

As an older learner, I needed a method that respected my time and didn't feel patronizing. This tutor is structured, clear, and efficient. I particularly appreciate the detailed section on simple ornamentation. It's a professional, high-quality guide that has me playing short tunes within a few weeks.

Irish Traditional Session Music, Book 2

Great for My Fiddle Students

I use Ceol Tracks books exclusively in my fiddle classes now. Book 2 is ideal for my advanced students who are ready for more intricate settings and faster tempos. The inclusion of both notations helps them transition smoothly from ABC into more formal sight-reading practice.

Absolutely Essential!

I’ve tried several tune books over the years, and this one is the most user-friendly by a mile. The 'one tune per page' layout makes sight-reading so much less stressful.
