Schedule
The November 6 meeting will be at the home of Stuart Solloway, near Teale Square in Somerville. He will be sending directions to the list. Bonnie has several of our notebooks in her car, but if you’re coming and have something particular you want to do, it might make sense to print several copies and bring them.
After that, our regularly scheduled dropin sessions at my place will resume on Tuesdays starting at 7:45 PM.
Memorizing
We will be working on memorizing some of the easier things in our repertoire, with an eye to doing more of our performance with less note reading and less music stand setup time and space. So if you want to perform with us, you might be interested in memorizing:
- At least one part of the Susato Danse D’Hercules/De Matrigale
- Several of our more common rounds
If you’re only doing the group as a dropin and sightreading group, we will continue to have music available for people who haven’t memorized it.
Arrival etiquette
Please remember that the official start time of our meetings is 7:45 PM. If you arrive after that and have complicated setup and tuning before you can start playing, please consider doing it in the living room, rather than keeping other people who have arrived and set up promptly from playing.
