Workshop
Online Event

The Old Avoca Schoolhouse in Avoca, Nebraska will be streaming three online “Playford English Country Dance Tunes Workshops” for soprano recorder players, alto recorder players, fiddlers, violists, cellists, bassists, and mandolinists.  
 
The Workshops will be on Tuesday, August 8, 7 PM, Central Time, Wednesday, August 9, 10 AM, Central Time, and Friday, August 11, 7 PM, Central Time.  Different tunes will be played at each session. 
 
John Playford (1623–1686/7) was a London bookseller, publisher, and composer. He is best known today for his publication of The English Dancing Master in 1651.
 
We will read, play, and discuss various survival skills for these charming pieces.  A treble clef version of the sheet music for the tunes being played will be displayed on the screen during the workshop.
 
Just as in all of the collections in the Tunes for Two series these books contain the same tunes in the same keys making it easy for you to play with a friend playing another instrument.
 
There is limited enrollment, and pre-registration is required.  The cost for each workshop is $10.00. The cost of each optional book is $15.00 (includes shipping if ordered with workshop registration).
