Tuesday
Morning Class from 9.30am |
This
classes is suitable for all melody instruments. We learn and play at a
medium pace. All participants are muted except for questions.
Sessions are particularly useful.
Everyone is muted except the leader, giving accompanists a chance to
experiment and allowing melody players to try some variation or harmony
without fear of putting another group member off track, . |
We are currently operating via Zoom -
distance no object - join from anywhere!

Folk
Hall, Portishead September - November 2020
We can't dance at the
moment and the groups cannot be run from the house, so I'm using my hall
booking for music groups. Tuesday is now a teaching session from
9.30-10.30 followed by a session of tunes until 11.30am for which the
fee is £10 per person. Attendees are limited to 15.
The second hour will be dedicated to playing tunes, and providing the
maximum of 15 has not been reached, other players can arrive at 10.30 and
pay £5 for this session.
