Hi Everyone!!
Summer here! I’m really looking forward to teaching you a couple of my favorite Shetland tunes tomorrow (Friday) in my cello class starting at 4:00pm PST.

All instruments are welcome!

Hi all!

I am so excited about my Movement Workshop tomorrow at 2pm PST - Details below and please share with your friends. This workshop is for all! The exercises will be especially helpful for musicians or those of us stuck on our computers a lot these days ( that’s me too!)

Movement for dancers & non-dancers: Awaken your body through simple stretching & movement exercises

**Thursday at 2pm PST

With Natalie Nayun

Let's explore our 3-dimensional bodies and get out of the stagnation that has been brought about by current times. We will warm up our whole bodies with special attention focused on stretching & strengthening the hands & shoulders, we will then move into some simple body awareness & improvisational exercises. If time allows we will explore simple movement phrases based in Central Asian movement vocabulary.

Brianna’s Tune: Saalouni el nas (Fairuz)

Rhythm: Bayati - Arabic Tuning: GDGD

YouTube link to performance - Sheet music for download

Lovers of BRETON Music: The FestNoz on Tues night is both a session and a dance. DOTS in PDF are downloadable from my Google Drive HERE. We’ll alternate playing and yakking, and Adrienne will demonstrate the dances while we play so dancers can follow along (but no actual teaching).

Yay! I am really looking forward to our Friday night Song Circle Session!

Have two songs ready; if the turnout is light, you might get a second chance to sing!
Most of us will sing unaccompanied, but you may accompany yourself. Have your instrument tuned and at hand!
This is important: We have an hour, and we’ll all be waiting for our turn in Zoom-land, so please be considerate - don’t hold us hostage with long, endless-versed ballads. If your song is longer than five minutes, please choose a shorter song.
You are welcome to just hang-out and listen if that’s your preference!
Wear a silly hat! Bring your own libation!

Need more info? Email me at celiaramsay@gmail.com. See you Friday!

Maldon here!

Thanks for attending the Sean-nós workshop. Here is a link to a page with some recourse to accompany the workshop. I am still adding a few things to the page, but many of the resources are up there now.
