As mentioned previously, over the course of 6 weeks we will alternate between a Repertoire Session one week and Learning a New Tune the next. We will survey some of the over 50 tunes we have taught over the last 9 sessions during the 3 Repertoire Sessions.
For this Sunday, we have selected a group of 5 tunes in D that we will be revisiting (we may not get to all 5). Participants will receive a list in advance of planned tunes and links to a dropbox with source and instructor recordings and to a video page with instructor demonstrations.
Come learn new tunes, play with friends, and practice your instrument in a pleasant and supportive environment. Harry Liedstrand (fiddle), Cindy Liedstrand (guitar), and David Brown (banjo) are all experienced musicians who have played in string bands, performed/taught at festivals, and played for dances.
Participants should already know the basics of how to play their instruments. We will be learning by ear so bring a recording device. The fiddles will focus on melody and bowing. Banjos will concentrate on both rhythm and melody in the claw hammer style. Guitars will focus on rhythmic back-up accompaniment with chords and bass runs. Other instruments such as ukulele and mandolin are welcome.
