From jam-announce at lists.slowerthandirt.org Fri May 18 17:36:42 2018 From: jam-announce at lists.slowerthandirt.org (Slower Than Dirt Jam Announcements) Date: Fri, 18 May 2018 10:36:42 -0700 Subject: [Jam-discuss] [Jam-announce] Slower Than Dirt tomorrow, 2pm, Green Lake Message-ID: May 19, Green Lake, 2:00-4:00pm The May jam is in the meeting room of the Green Lake branch of the Seattle Public Library, 7364 East Green Lake Dr N , from 2:00pm to 4:00pm on Saturday, May 19th. NB: Parking around Green Lake can be difficult, especially if the weather is good. Tunes from the core repertoire to be played in May are: - Boil Them Cabbage Down (A) - Cripple Creek (A) - McClanahan’s March (A) - Old Joe Clark (A mix) - Sandy Boys (A mix) - Angeline The Baker (D) - Johnny Don’t Get Drunk (D) - Lily of the Valley (D) - Soldier’s Joy (D) - St. Anne’s Reel (D) Upcoming Jams: - May 19, *Green Lake*, 2pm–4pm - June 16, *Green Lake*, 2pm–4pm - July 21, *Green Lake*, 2pm–4pm I'm not running a jam/workshop at Folklife this year, but there's a workshop on Saturday at 11am called "Tumbleweed Learns a Tune-Colman’s March" (http://sched.co/Eftn) which looks like it might be interesting for folks who would have come to a slow jam. Coleman's March is a great tune, and I've been thinking of adding it to the core tunes list. --Josh -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Got me a violin and have been learning for the last 5 months. I seem to be stuck with learning or having learned the double stops and single notes in the 1 position. Have many questions and I am in need of violin classes. Anyone in the group that can help with that or anyone you may know and want to suggest? I have searched in craigslist and google and so far it seems that they are trying to get me in a regular class schedule and I don’t want to do that. That would be too expensive. I will probably need a class like once a month just to ask questions that it will take me too long to find the answers online or YouTube.

But it doesn't hurt to ask if they'd be willing to do less frequent or more on-demand refresher classes. Two I know are Sarah Comer < fiddleteacher at hotmail.com>, and Mai Li Pittard . Sarah taught lessons and classes in PNW-style old-time fiddle at Dusty Strings; she's recently switched to being an independent instructor. Mai Li is more of a classical violinist (among the many instruments she plays), but she is familiar with some old-timey idioms, and classical instruction can be helpful for playing old-time. Of the two, I'd guess Sarah is more open to occasional lessons; I know Mai Li really tries to keep her teaching schedule regular. Dusty Strings also has fiddle/violin instructors: http://store. dustystrings.com/t-3-ms-PL-fiddleviolin.aspx?skinid=4 Of the folks at Dusty Strings, the only one I don't know is Allan MacDonald, but it looks like he's teaching Scottish and Irish style, so he might not be the best fit anyway. I don't know if the others are open to occasional drop-ins, but I suspect they might be. See you Saturday! --Josh On Mon, May 14, 2018 at 1:09 PM, M Vars via Jam-discuss < jam-discuss at lists.slowerthandirt.org> wrote: > > Hi, > I attended the class twice, with my guitar.
