Hello!At this very moment in time I should have been on the road travelling down to Halsway Manor to teach beginner and intermediate nyckelharpa players from around the UK. As with all other events and gigs it was cancelled. (All our work until September has vanished).
But I really love teaching the nyckelharpa and decided I should do something online. So I have prepared up a digital event. It runs from 2pm on Saturday afternoon for about 1 hour 45 minutes.
You can join with me on the premiers at the times listed below or take part whenever you like! Then on Sunday there is the second session in the Bar.
The warmups are based on the morning warm ups that I do everyday at Halsway (you'll either need bean bags or some balled up socks for the first one).
Then you get the wonderful Kirsty Money, who was supposed to be coming over from Canada to teach. Kirsty will teach a tune. Then I teach a couple of tunes and finally we end up in the bar at Halsway for a session. Because the weekend was geared towards beginners who had started the instrument at the weekend, this is a special session. It consists of a list of my favourite beginner tunes that I teach. If you started off your nyckelharpa life (or indeed yet to come) with me. Then these tunes will be very familiar. So even if you're no longer a beginner, join with me for a bit of a blast from the past!
