1 Folk Tune Sessions ft. midswégan Workbook of Tunes

2 Folk Tune Sessions All over the country, musicians are coming together to support the learning of folk tunes and the building of instrument confidence. Many musicians have been inspired by the slow and steady speed tune workshops that are commonly found at folk festivals around the UK. midswégan are a folk ensemble based in the Midlands. midswégan is an Anglo-Saxon word that means to play together in concert or harmony, which is fitting considering that we met and found our connection during public bar folk music sessions around the beautiful counties of Shropshire and Cheshire. Our Folk Tune Workshops are lead by Adam Beresford-Browne (guitar, mandolin), Richard Chaff (guitar), Tim Cunningham (fiddle, accordion), Ian Jones (flute, melodeon, whistle), Clare Fluff Smith (fiddle, viola), and Jay Stannard (percussion, bass guitar). Why do it? Knowing the notes of a tune is only part of the journey. Without compassion, awareness and joy, a session is merely a group of strangers in the same room playing (roughly) the same tune. By playing tunes slowly and steadily in a workshop environment we are encouraged to really listen to the musicians around us, to learn self-restraint so as to not play too quickly or loudly, and to grow closer to our instrument and how to make each and every note sound beautiful. What do I need to bring? For the most part you only need to bring your instrument(s) and an open mind. For those who can read music, our book of tunes is available from midswegan.weebly.com/workshops as well as associated festival websites. Printouts will be available at the workshops. If, like many of us, you play by ear then have a browse around our website where you ll find recordings of each tune for you to play along with. We will also learn some tunes by ear in the workshop. Guitar & Percussion These Folk Tune Workshops are designed to help tune players to learn and progress - they are not a free for all session. In order to be fair to our students we will be very strict about timing, speed, volume, etc. If you re a percussionist or rythym guitarist then please bear this in mind before deciding to attend.

4 Workbook of Tunes midswegan Folk Tune Workshops come in three flavours: Very Slow Tempo - tunes are played at around 30 to 40 bpm, with significant emphasis on keeping a steady tempo and playing each note carefully and clearly. Medium Slow Tempo - tunes are played at around 50 to 60 bpm with steady tempo and clear noteplaying. Up Tempo - aka. ceilidh speed. Tunes are played at 80 to 120 bpm, with emphasis on playing music for dancers. During our workshops we will teach new tunes by ear, at a pace that allows everyone present to go away with a new tune. We also have sets of standard tunes that we use to warm up the workshops, encourage familiarity, loosen the joints and muscles, and get us all in the mood: Very Slow Tempo tunes include: Blackthorn Stick Moon & Seven Stars Morpeth Rant Additional guest tunes taught by ear in workshop Medium Slow Tempo tunes include: Moon & Seven Stars Old Morpeth Rant Lucy Farrs Speed the Plough Soldier s Joy Additional guest tunes taught by ear in workshop Up Tempo tunes include: Speed the Plough Morpeth Rant Soldier s Joy Moon & Seven Stars Other tunes that may well creep into our workshops include: Egan s Polka Nantwich Fair Chester Castle Hornpipe Shrewsbury Hornpipe Cumberland Waltz Rakes of Mallow Washing Day Uncle Bernard s Hunt the Squirrel Duchess Butterfly Drowsy Maggie
