I have lost our five residential courses at Halsway Manor this year and I really miss teaching face to face and I'm sure everyone else is missing playing together. So I've decided to run an asynchronous virtual session. Each week I will add a new session video that will over time build up into a full session. It's going to start slow and easy for the less confident player and get gradually more demanding. It's going to be a mixed session with a an eclectic mix of tunes. All the tunes will have lesson videos to accompany it so if you don't know a tune you can learn it!
We've been overwhelmed by our response to our request for coffees for the next session - so we will be filming another couple this week! Thank you! We're going to keep asking for more coffees so we can continue to film the sessions. If you have a request for a tune, get in touch!
