Fiddling for you Slow Session     Here’s an American site that teaches some great tunes slowly.

The SLOW SESSION page is at www.fiddlin4you.com/slowsession!

You must be a member to view this page, but there is no charge … you just need to hit the LOGIN button and sign up for free and then you can access sound clips of tunes being taught in two bar phrase chunks!

The first tune they teach is The Ships are Sailing.

This is very similar to the teaching method for Ten Tunes in Ten Weeks coming up on 14 October.  Places still available in the course – email Sharon at daveoneillmusic@gmail.com or phone 0418 405 236 to book.
