SummerTunes, an all-day contra dance music workshop that culminates in the students playing for the night’s contra dance will be held July 26 in Frederick, MD.
The tune book is now available for download by registered participants.
I developed this workshop in 1997–I have never heard of anyone doing anything else like it: providing a tune book as part of the event, having the all-day rehearsal, and playing for a regular and well-attended contra dance.
It is open to all instruments–whistlers should be warned that there are a number of tunes in flat keys, but there are plenty of G, D, and A tunes to go around.
