presenting a two-hour online workshop, "Swedish Songs
and Tunes" open to all levels and all instruments and
singers. If you took either or both of the
Scandinavian and Nordic wrokshops, here are another 8
that are from Sweden. We'll listen to YouTube
performances of the tunes and discuss some of the
interesting rhythms that are particular to Swedish
music. You
will get arrangements that can be played on lever
harp, pedal harp, or piano, in addition to lead sheets
with melody, lyrics in Swedish with English
translations, and chords for singers, guitarists, and
other instrumentalists. I’ve also added guitar
tablature for all the songs and tunes so a guitarist
can either play chords using the lead sheet or play
melody and chords with the tablature. Cost: $30 per
person. Register here!
