Welcome to the Montreal Session Tunebook

As you can see, the site has undergone a significant facelift. We hope the new look and feel is an improvement and that everything you liked about the old site is still here. If you notice any problems with the new site, or you can suggest changes to improve things it would be very useful if you could let us know.

This website is a resource for traditional music with a particular focus on music played in the Montreal sessions.

Beginning in September 2005 we have built a collection of just over 700 tunes in ABC format. Many of the tunes are written as they are played in the sessions around the Montreal area and so might be slightly different from versions played elsewhere.

In addition we host several collections with more than 3000 tunes available as sheet music, in abc format and midi files.

We do not have any recordings on the site, so if you are looking for mp3's of traditional music you are in the wrong place

Although originally conceived for local musicians, this site has become more widely used. If you have any ideas for improving the site or more general comments, we'd be glad to hear from you.
