Has anyone had experience of beginners' tune sessions? I ask because I'm a rank amateur on the whistle, and I do mean rank (I was approaching the foothills of competence a couple of years ago, but I got out of the habit of practicing and it all went again). My worry about this kind of session would be that proper tune players would start coming, and it would drift from "beginners playing along with people who are actually quite good (but not super-fast)" to "people who are actually quite good (but not super-fast) playing along with twiddle demons".

I suppose what I'm saying is that a session like this should have a strict quality threshold. If you're as good as this, you're not coming in.
