| Please join me to play these tunes at our hour long zoom sessions: Tuesday morning (English, Scottish Irish) Tuesday evening (Irish tunes) and Wednesday evening (English, Scottish Irish). Get in touch with Jill for the most up to date list of tune sets for each session. |
| Join us for our free 15/20 minute "morning assembly" at 9.10am on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Email Jill for the list of tunes we are currently playing at these sessions. |
| There are several zoom classes each week for learning tunes by ear with a bit of technique thrown in - see the contents bar on the left for links to the timetable for each group and a list of tunes learned each week. Pre March 2020 groups are further down the sidebar. |
| Email Jill for the zoom link for the sessions, classes and morning assembly - there is one link for everything. |
|
Play along with the Highly Strung Community Band leaders by clicking the links
in the column "Tune in a Set with other Tunes" - please note that the
tune set has two, three or four tunes and will not necessarily start with the
tune name on the corresponding line.
For example, "Early in the Year" is the 3rd tune in a set of three tunes. To find out the names of the other 2 tunes, click in the final column and you will see the names of the tunes. A list of tunes in their relevant sets is available from Jill - just email. Play along with Highly Strung Community Band members for tunes we mixed together for the Christmas dance and music party 2020- this link will take you to a new page. |

The "dots" are only provided so readers can join in with the band without having learned the melody. Dots on a page are only a vague visual representation of the music. Please don't ever worry if you have not had the inclination to "read music" because music is not something you read. It is something you hear, feel, interpret and reproduce yourself on your instrument in your own unique way. If you would like to learn in the classes and play in the sessions - click in contents strip for the various days and times. I will send you the zoom link when you contact me. Join the band on Tuesday and Thursday mornings on zoom at 9.10 am for our morning assembly Jan-April 2021. Click here for morning assembly timetable of tunes. |
