Mostly about pedagogy and hands on teaching, but maybe about other stuff too. A new tune each friday - #tunefriday.

So if you'd like to come and play-along here's the tune list for the evening! As usual we can't be 100% sure what order we're going to play these in or if we'll do all of them. We know it won't be everything! There is one tune that is put against two dances - we know we'll only do one of the dances and they're different lengths - so we'll let you know what is what as we go through!!</span><br /></span><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="http://nyckelharpa.me.uk/vfile/VirtualAlcester20.pdf" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a> for the PDF</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">The Growling Old Man / Gaspe Reel</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="http://nyckelharpaeffect.blogspot.co.uk/2017/03/one-for-his-nob.html">One for His Nob</a> / <a href="http://nyckelharpaeffect.blogspot.com/2020/06/dancing-out.html">Dancing Out</a></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://nyckelharpaeffect.blogspot.com/2019/10/marvelous-meg.html">Marvelous Meg </a>/ <a href="https://nyckelharpaeffect.blogspot.com/2019/11/rocking-roquefort.html">Rocking Roquefort</a> / <a href="https://nyckelharpaeffect.blogspot.com/2019/11/darkside.html">The Darkside</a></span></div><div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Sleep Deprivation</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://nyckelharpaeffect.blogspot.com/2019/05/fiddling-about.html">Fiddling Abou</a>t (Part of Grandpa Joe)</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="http://nyckelharpaeffect.blogspot.com/2018/05/lightening-load.html">Lightening the Load</a> / <a href="http://nyckelharpaeffect.blogspot.co.uk/2018/04/st-albans-new-contra.html">St Albans New</a></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://swandyermusic.blogspot.com/2019/04/andy-clarkes.html">Andy Clarkes</a> / <a href="https://swandyermusic.blogspot.com/2019/04/trip-to-harbertonford.html">A Trip to Habertonford</a></span></div><div><a href="http://www.swan-dyer.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Jiggle.pdf"><span style="font-family: arial;">Jiggle the Old Bones</span></a></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="http://nyckelharpaeffect.blogspot.co.uk/2017/03/hyde-and-seek.html">Hyde & Seek</a> / <a href="http://nyckelharpaeffect.blogspot.co.uk/2017/06/the-japonica-jig.html">Japonica Jig</a></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="http://nyckelharpaeffect.blogspot.com/2018/05/dancing-shoes.html">Dancing Shoes</a></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://nyckelharpaeffect.blogspot.com/2020/07/ankapoo.html" target="_blank">Ankapoo</a> / <a href="http://nyckelharpaeffect.blogspot.com/2017/05/tongue-in-cheek-polka.html">Tongue in Cheek</a></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://nyckelharpaeffect.blogspot.com/2020/03/one-for-diana.html">One for Diana</a> (waltz)</span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Two of these sets we'll be playing as "session" sets before the dance.

It's 2021 and we're still all here. England has just gone into a new lockdown, so it's time to shake things up on the blog and get back to work! Just before Christmas Jonny was commissioned to write a piece of music for a Swedish Lapphund and this is that tune. The remit was to write a Swedish tune, but we wanted it playable on the Northumbrian Smallpipes. So here it is, it's a slängpolska and playable on the NSPs. <div>Enjoy!</div><div>:))</div><div>Vicki</div><div>If you enjoy this blog please donate to keep it Free Access for all.</div><div><a href="https://swan-dyer.square.site/product/NHblogDonate/63" target="_blank">Click Here!</a></div><div><br /></div><div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/doQ5QBTuZcY" width="560"></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNGvBxQxm_acn9B6BSzc-xwCRxTGs3Xj5pSpdUcAD9DPjcBFAwV3nPZJlur8HFOksbiFEQlX0NYzOkmcYkkFCKBlx4q2KFw_THKicJjOs4KLANJy7yArEaZw4skaVJFBlDCyB0-z-l7dM/s2048/Lilas_Polska.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1205" data-original-width="2048" height="376" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNGvBxQxm_acn9B6BSzc-xwCRxTGs3Xj5pSpdUcAD9DPjcBFAwV3nPZJlur8HFOksbiFEQlX0NYzOkmcYkkFCKBlx4q2KFw_THKicJjOs4KLANJy7yArEaZw4skaVJFBlDCyB0-z-l7dM/w640-h376/Lilas_Polska.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Smallpiperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15196265798404330992noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3761921787933572819.post-76736266864122875772020-12-25T14:53:00.015+00:002021-01-01T21:57:38.783+00:00New Years Eve Zoom Contra Dance<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/nrZnq_v3_s8" width="560"></iframe><div>Hello!<br /><div>Let's Party!

We're playing for a dance! It's a familiar phrase now - it's supposed to be the Tenterden Folk Festival at the weekend and of course it's been cancelled due to Covid-19. So we offered to do a Zoom ceilidh. tune it's Zoom that means you don't have to dance - you can play along. So here is a sneak preview of the dance list and PDF so that you can download it, print it and join in with us! It doesn't include what the actual dances are though, they can be a surprise - although some of the dances have eponymous tunes. Below is the list to the links of the teaching videos. I haven't taught them all - so I should get round to doing those!<br /><div><a href="http://nyckelharpa.me.uk/vfile/TenterdenDanceList.pdf" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a> for the <a href="http://nyckelharpa.me.uk/vfile/TenterdenDanceList.pdf">PDF</a></div><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>Alunelul</li><li><a href="https://nyckelharpaeffect.blogspot.com/2019/12/anastasia.html">Anastasia</a></li><li><a href="https://nyckelharpaeffect.blogspot.com/2020/01/double-shot-coffee.html">Double Shot Coffee</a> /<a href="https://nyckelharpaeffect.blogspot.com/2020/01/diversion-ahead.html"> Diversion Ahead</a> / <a href="https://nyckelharpaeffect.blogspot.com/2020/02/dont-drive-tired.html">Don't Drive Tired</a></li><li><a href="http://nyckelharpaeffect.blogspot.com/2017/03/hyde-and-seek.html">Hyde and Seek</a> / <a href="http://nyckelharpaeffect.blogspot.com/2017/06/the-japonica-jig.html">Japonica Jig</a></li><li><a href="https://nyckelharpaeffect.blogspot.com/2019/03/half-hannekin.html">Half Hannikin</a></li><li><a href="http://nyckelharpaeffect.blogspot.com/2017/07/the-horses-brawl.html">Horses Branle</a></li><li><a href="http://nyckelharpaeffect.blogspot.com/2018/05/lightening-load.html">Lightening the Load</a> / <a href="http://nyckelharpaeffect.blogspot.co.uk/2018/04/st-albans-new-contra.html">St Albans New</a></li><li>Hornpipe Hollandica 1 / Hornpipe Hollandica 2 / Stena's Hornpipe</li><li><a href="https://swandyermusic.blogspot.com/2019/04/andy-clarkes.html" target="_blank">Andy Clarkes</a> / <a href="https://swandyermusic.blogspot.com/2019/04/trip-to-harbertonford.html" target="_blank">A Trip to Habertonford</a></li><li><a href="http://nyckelharpaeffect.blogspot.com/2020/07/ankapoo.html">Ankapoo</a> / <a href="http://nyckelharpaeffect.blogspot.com/2017/05/tongue-in-cheek-polka.html">Tongue in Cheek</a></li><li>Drunken Piper / <a href="http://nyckelharpaeffect.blogspot.com/2020/07/italian-pants.html">Italian Pants</a> / <a href="http://nyckelharpaeffect.blogspot.com/2020/07/dot-dot-dot.html">Dot Dot Dot</a></li><li>Swedish Masquerade</li><li>Winster Gallop / <a href="http://nyckelharpaeffect.blogspot.com/2016/09/the-doodle-oak-cloggers.html">Doodle Oak Cloggers</a> / <a href="https://nyckelharpaeffect.blogspot.com/2019/08/hedingham-green.html">Hedingham Green</a></li></ol><div>If you want to come to the Zoom dance you'll need to register and I will send you the details.

This is a very special session as you'll discover when you watch it. This is the session that Jonny was too busy working elsewhere to be able to get to in time! So we have a motley crew this week! The tune list is all tunes that you can play on the Swedish säckpipa. (Don't worry, I'm still leading on nyckelharpa!) Some of the teaching videos are currently säckpipa lessons, but I will replace these in the next week!<div>The tune list is as follows:</div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><a href="https://nyckelharpaeffect.blogspot.com/2020/03/langas-fran-solleron.html">Långdans från Sollerön</a></li><li><a href="https://smallpiper.blogspot.com/2020/06/menueto-efter-sven-donat.html">Menuetto efter Sven Donat</a></li><li><a href="http://smallpiper.blogspot.com/2020/05/polska-efter-andreas-dahlgren-nummer-87.html">Pollonesse efter Andreas Dahlgren Nr. 87</a></li><li><a href="https://smallpiper.blogspot.com/2019/05/rora-roret.html">Röra Röret</a></li><li><a href="https://nyckelharpaeffect.blogspot.com/2020/03/gardsbygubbarnas-polska.html">Gärdsbygubbarnas Polska</a></li><li><a href="http://nyckelharpa.me.uk/vfile/Halsway-Manor-Bar-Session-S15.pdf">PDF of the dots</a></li><li><a href="https://nyckelharpaeffect.blogspot.com/2020/08/the-lockdown-halsway-bar-nyckelharpa_28.html">Blog entry for this session</a></li></ul><div style="text-align: center;"><b><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VvOcx18kk7E" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>As we've said before, these sessions take a lot of time to put together and we definitely enjoy doing them.

I should have been at Halsway Manor on the 18th and 19th September with many other nyckelharpa players. As we can't do this I'm running some online workshops and session. You'll find all the information on my actual website - <a href="http://nyckelharpa.me.uk/halsway/halsway-festival-weekend-september-2020/" target="_blank">Click here!</a> But we have Peter Hedlund, Leif Alpsj¨ø and Thor Pleijel doing some Zoom workshops.

As with everything else it's been cancelled and put online. Which means that we can do a very cool thing this Wednesday. We were supposed to be playing for the Playford Ball on Wednesday with Purcell's Polyphonic Party. The closest we can get instead is for me and Jonny to play for the Ball in Zoom and this means that you can come along no matter where in the world you are! It takes place at<b> 8-9pm UK time</b>. on Wednesday 26th August. The ball is free but you do need to register to get a login. - <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScS_EPb4ccVmpfilBwhYtDFGie9CMEG5KXDiVKLf1M9dwGrHw/viewform" target="_blank">REGISTER HERE!</a> Donations to the festival are appreciated (and also to the artists, ie us)</p><p>So exclusively on this blog I am releasing the probable dance list and a tune pad so that you can play along if you want! It's totally live with a caller - no pre-record! So anything could happen!</p><p>So the dance list? Keep in mind that this might change and might not be the order and there might be technical hitches!

The session on the 23rd August is another Swedish tunes session. These are all great tunes that are played in many Scandi sessions in the UK. So here is the list and the lessons so you can get ready for the session next week! They're all my favourite tunes (as always!)</div>

We get on average 45 nyckelharpa players gathering together at the large weekend in September. The courses have been growing and in 2019 I ran a beginners course, an advanced course and the festival weekend. This year everything has been cancelled. So I decided to take inspiration from the World Nyckelharpa Day and run something online at the weekend that we were supposed to be there. <a href="http://nyckelharpa.me.uk/halsway/halsway-festival-weekend-september-2020/">Click here </a>to see the details of the day!<p></p><p>The first part of this jigsaw puzzle is The Halsway Parade. Each year we parade around the garden playing this tune. So I'd like two things - one is that people play this tune for real at 2pm UK time. The second is that I would very much like to edit together a large mosaic of as many nyckelharpa players around the world playing this tune as possible!</p><p>Below are the things that you will need:</p><p></p><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>The lesson teaching the tune</li><li>A full quartet of me playing the tune</li><li>The guide track for you to play along to and film yourself</li></ol><div>The instructions:</div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Film yourself playing along to the guide track. You must wear headphones so I can edit the video into one big ensemble.</li><li>Email me your video using Wetransfer.com (or similar) to info [a] worldnyckelharpaday.com (change the [a] for @!</li></ul></div><div>Then I will release the video around the weekend of the 19th September!</div><div>How many people can we get to join in?

A good few years ago I put together a tune book and I thought I would teach a tune from there. So instead of the dots being on the website this time I'm encouraging people to buy the book! It's very reasonably priced and I am filming and putting up tunes by request from the book!<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />
</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">So far I have done <a href="https://nyckelharpaeffect.blogspot.com/2020/05/skomakaren.html">Skomakaren</a> and <a href="https://nyckelharpaeffect.blogspot.com/2020/05/linneavalsen.html">Linnéavalsen</a>. This third tune has been requested and it's Piparens Polska - the Pipers Polska</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> I've uploaded up a few versions of the tune:<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;"><li>The full lesson</li>

<li>A version with me just playing the melody</li>
<li>A version with me just playing the harmony</li>

Hello!<br />
<div>
This week it's another week of British tunes and we also get a sneaky peek into the freshly renovated Marden Room. For a lot of people that have been to Halsway this room is totally unrecognisable and we are very excited to be able to deliver this session from there and even more excited when we get to go back and actually run a workshop in it!!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Back to the session though, these are some of my favourite tunes. So enjoy!<br />

It's a session that kicks along at a really nice pace. There are two tunes that don't have blog entries, so keep an eye open for those coming up this week. The video will premier at 2pm on Sunday 19th July. You can join us at 2pm or any time after that!</div><div><br /></div><div>To keep these sessions going please think about donating to the blog. Each session takes about about a day to put together and in these Covid-19 stricken times we are working hard to make an online living. We have one more session in the can after this one, so we've made a special Buy Me A Coffee button - once we've had a hit of 50 coffees, we'll film, edit and publish the next session!</div><div><br /></div><div>Next week it's another danceable session of Playford tunes.</div><div><br /></div><div>:))</div><div>Vicki & Jonny<br /></div><div><a class="bmc-button" href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/M5PgypC/e/2738" target="_blank"><style>.bmc-button img{height: 34px !important;width: 35px !important;margin-bottom: 1px !important;box-shadow: none !important;border: none !important;vertical-align: middle !important;}.bmc-button{padding: 7px 15px 7px 10px !important;line-height: 35px !important;height:51px !important;text-decoration: none !important;display:inline-flex !important;color:#ffffff !important;background-color:#5F7FFF !important;border-radius: 5px !important;border: 1px solid transparent !important;padding: 7px 15px 7px 10px !important;font-size: 22px !important;letter-spacing: 0.6px !important;box-shadow: 0px 1px 2px rgba(190, 190, 190, 0.5) !important;-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 1px 2px 2px rgba(190, 190, 190, 0.5) !important;margin: 0 auto !important;font-family:'Cookie', cursive !important;-webkit-box-sizing: border-box !important;box-sizing: border-box !important;}.bmc-button:hover, .bmc-button:active, .bmc-button:focus {-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 1px 2px 2px rgba(190, 190, 190, 0.5) !important;text-decoration: none !important;box-shadow: 0px 1px 2px 2px rgba(190, 190, 190, 0.5) !important;opacity: 0.85 !important;color:#ffffff !important;}</style><link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Cookie" rel="stylesheet"></link><img alt="Buy a Session Coffee" src="https://cdn.buymeacoffee.com/buttons/bmc-new-btn-logo.svg" /><span style="font-size: 28px; margin-left: 5px;">Buy a Session Coffee</span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://nyckelharpa.me.uk/vfile/50-sessioncoffees.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="95" data-original-width="585" src="http://nyckelharpa.me.uk/vfile/50-sessioncoffees.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"></div><div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/O4FQG4qXBHA" width="560"></iframe></div><div><ul><li><a href="http://nyckelharpaeffect.blogspot.com/2016/09/the-doodle-oak-cloggers.html">Doodle Oak Cloggers</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>/<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="https://nyckelharpaeffect.blogspot.com/2019/08/hedingham-green.html">Hedingham Green</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>(32 bar reels)</li><li><a href="https://nyckelharpaeffect.blogspot.com/2019/11/waltz-for-shari.html">Waltz for Shari</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>(64 bar waltz)</li><li><a href="https://nyckelharpaeffect.blogspot.com/2018/04/sunny-skies.html">Sunny Skies</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>/<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://nyckelharpaeffect.blogspot.com/2018/05/dancing-shoes.html">Dancing Shoes</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>(32 jigs)</li><li><a href="https://nyckelharpaeffect.blogspot.com/2019/12/anastasia.html">Anastasia</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>(48 bar reel)</li><li><a href="http://nyckelharpaeffect.blogspot.com/2020/07/italian-pants.html">Italian Pants</a> / <a href="http://nyckelharpaeffect.blogspot.com/2020/07/dot-dot-dot.html">Dot Dot Dot</a> (32 bar polkas)</li><li><b><div style="display: inline;"><a href="http://nyckelharpa.me.uk/vfile/Halsway-Manor-Bar-Session-S9.pdf" style="font-weight: normal;">Download</a><span style="font-weight: normal;"> the dots to Session 9</span></div></b></li></ul></div>Smallpiperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15196265798404330992noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3761921787933572819.post-73501590148615687502020-07-06T13:39:00.004+01:002020-07-15T20:12:20.325+01:00The Lockdown Halsway Bar Nyckelharpa Session - slower session part 3<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

I thought that the Sunday session this week should be one that was a slower one again. So this is a session Zero part 3. It's great to be able to speed through tunes - but its also great to go back to simpler tunes and make sure that everyone can take part. So that's exactly what this week is all about, looking out for the less experienced players. These are lovely tunes to play in any case, so make sure even if you are more experienced that you play with beautiful notes. Of course - you don't have to be a nyckelharpa player to join in with these sessions, you can play absolutely any instrument you like! So join us at 2pm on Sunday 11th July if you'd like to play along live, but as always the videos stay up forever so you can join in any time you like!</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">If you enjoy the sessions, please consider buying a 'Session Coffee'.

We love to play for ceilidh and contra. So this week it's a session of tunes that I've written and that we play for dance. Not that we've had any opportunity to play for dance over the past 14 weeks and we sure do miss it!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>As promised in the first session we said that as the weeks went by the sessions would get faster and harder. So this week we are pretty much at contra speed and that is 120bpm.
