"What if you went from zero to playing in a session in eight weeks?"
There is something genuinely electric about the moment a session pulls you in and you are no longer just watching from a barstool. The bodhrán is one of the few instruments where eight weeks of honest practice can get you there.

It teaches you to listen more than you play.
