Gently Paced Mixed Tradition Class
WEDS 6.15 - 7.30 Face to Face at Cecil Sharp House or Via Zoom
Cecil Sharp House, 2 Regent’s Park Road, London NW1 7AY
This relaxed friendly class is not for complete beginners but it is for those who prefer to learn and play at a relatively gentle pace. The tunes will be chosen for their suitability to sound satisfying at any speed and to nurture the abilities of participants. Tunes will be drawn mainly from English, Irish and Scottish and European traditions. The class allows time for participants to work on technical issues such as violin and bow hold, release of tension whilst playing and leaning to increase confidence.
