SMG
Slow Session Class
Location Online
Day/Time Wed, 6.45-8.15
Latest update 4 Jun '24 1pm

The SMG Slow Session Class was started by me in 1998. The main idea was to build up a repertoire and learn to play with other people. The classroom activities are learning tunes, compiling sets, and music is played.

I seek out suitable tunes for the class course, and each year a possible list of new tunes is proposed and worked through. Use the schedule below to find out what tunes we're looking at in each class.
