Where can I find free sheet music of Irish tunes?

Posted on by Stephen Ducke

There are many sources of free Irish sheet music online, on this site for example!

thesession.org has a vast searchable database of tunes in abc format.

However, Irish music is in an oral tradition. It is important to have an aural reference for the tune when learning; always start with a CD or recording to learn the melody, before looking for the sheet music.
