Workshops on Zoom!

Attend the Zoom workshop live for the chance to ask questions and chat in the breaks! If you can’t attend live, the Zoom calls are recorded and will be available to you afterwards so you can complete the workshops or go over things again in your own time. You keep access to the recordings, audio and notation files.

Friday 5th July 7.00 – 9.00 pm
Play-along Session in Harmony for Mixed Instruments
For intermediate and above players of any instrument – notation and audio for around 15 tunes, with harmonies and chord suggestions provided in advance. Play the tune along with Stewart, or play the harmony line against the tune, or use the suggested chords, or your own, to accompany Stewart’s playing.

Saturday 6th July, 10.00 am – 12.00 noon

Learning on Zoom has many benefits, not least the reduction in travel time, cost and pollution, making it accessible to those in other parts of the country, but also providing an environment where you might have the confidence to have a go at things you might not otherwise attempt. Plus you can use the recording of the call to go over things you’d like to spend more time on afterwards, or even access the workshop if you’re not available at the time!
