Well, I think you can safely say that was a good days playing. 7 players were able to make the day, which meant that there were 3 tutors between 7, so plenty of hands on help available.
We started with a very nice arrangement of my funny valentine for the large ensemble (having heard it today, I am going to try it with my school group tomorrow) and the Moody Mode and Loony Toons for the small groups.
The jazz session worked through Nows the time and so what, with some very good improvisations from every one. some people had never played in a group before, others had never improvised before but everyone gave it their best shot.
Based on the feedback we will be back in that neck of the woods later in the year, and we should have a few more players joining us for the day as word of mouth spreads.
Tony took some video of the day, so once that is available I will let you know.
Its now time to concentrate on the next Leicester workshop on Friday the 8th June, 15 places booked but still 5 to go, are you up for it? Come and try it.
regards
