sessioning
Playing music together
Sessioning describes the act of engaging in extended, focused practice or play, typically in skateboarding, music, or gaming.
When skaters are sessioning a spot, they're repeatedly attempting tricks at a particular location until they land them or exhaust themselves.
Musicians session when they jam or record together, often for hours.
We spent the whole afternoon sessioning that rail.
The term implies dedication and repetition rather than casual participation.
