Workshop material from David Kaynor: "There are a lot of choices. I'm very enthusiastic about exploring jig rhythm, which I feel is under-explored territory for many contra dance musicians who sound strong on reels but weak on jigs (also, perhaps not coincidentally, on waltzes). A somewhat more general instructional theme I like is "Rhythm and Expression" in any and all dance tunes. I've often taught a sort of intermediate-level reel such that the less skilled players become reasonably proficient with a basic sketch of the melody while, simultaneously, the more skilled players explore ornaments, drones and double stops, and rhythmic variations."

Please email Mike Ludgate to register and get directions! Smile
