For TEACHERS, FACILITATORS and EVERYONE WORKING WITH PRIMARY SCHOOL-AGED CHILDREN

Folk Song – Serious Fun
A workshop exploring how traditional songs (both familiar and unfamiliar) can be used in the classroom, projects, and performance. Content will include fun and easy examples of vocal warm ups; “Instant Results” songs that get people singing in harmony and rounds, very quickly; songs from the British Isles; and folk songs from around the world.
Folk song is a way of making children aware of their history, the history and cultures of others, and the role song can play in communities -- the joy people can get from making music together in everyday surroundings. The day will end with an informal jam session for anyone who would like to play, sing or just listen. 
Led by David Oliver
David is a folk musician and music educator who worked for many years as a head teacher. He leads workshops in many aspects of folk music, song and dance, and provides in-service training, CPD, advice, information and resources for teachers. David is co-author of Folk Voiceworks and author of English Accordion Music, as well as a Ceilidh Band accordionist and caller.

These are a regular opportunity to practice tunes popular in local English sessions, whatever instrument you play, to whatever standard, and whether or not you read music. It's a chance to identify some of those tunes you recognise when you hear them but can't quite remember, to put the names to familiar tunes, and to play them over until you are sure of them. You can record the sessions. Admission is free.
 
You can download 180 of the tunes in Noteworthy Composer, ABC and midi form from the Lewes Arms Folk Club website www.members.aol.com/lewesarmsfolk : go to Links and then to Lewes Favourites.
 
The 'Lewes Favourites' tune book compiled by Andy Warburton contains background information and pictures as well. It is available from the contacts below or through the website, price £10 plus £1 p&p, by cheque payable to ‘Lewes Arms Folk Club’.
 
We meet in the Lewes Arms club-room, Mount Place, Lewes BN7 1YH from 8.00 p.m. onwards on the third Wednesday of every month, except in January and February.
