Tune Instruments Workshop with Christine Reynolds
This workshop is aimed at those who have some knowledge of their instrument and can play a couple of folk tunes – Salmon Tails is a good example. You might not be very fluent yet or very fast but you might like the idea of being able to play along with others in a session.
In the hour workshop Christine will work on one tune which you will then be able to go and join in with at the slow session following this. Christine will also cover some tips for getting the most out of your practice time and how to learn a new tune.
It is aimed at the “tune” instruments – fiddle, accordion, concertina, melodeon, mandolin, whistle, recorder…. You will not be working on anything other than the tune so a knowledge of the basses on instruments will not be necessary.
Christine has been playing folk music for about 15 years, starting with 4 folk fiddle lessons at the Guildhall. She has never looked back! Christine has played for two Morris sides – England’s Glory Ladies Morris and Lassington Oak. She also plays for ceilidhs, mostly with That Shallot. There is a real kick in playing for dancing!
You can also find Christine playing every week at the sessions in and around Gloucester.
Christine says ‘There are so many great tunes out there – and I know I will never learn them all, but I keep on trying. Do come and join us – we would love to have you share the fun.’
