The tune will be taught by ear during the Live Teaching calls beginning on Weds 13th January. Have a listen in advance if you can as this really helps with learning by ear. The notation is available here for you to print for reference, but trust the teaching method and have a go by ear, as it’s a different learning process from reading the notation. There will be one other new tune this block to add to the collection below, and this will be introduced in a week or two. We will also be playing through other tunes from the repertoire (see below) as the block progresses.
