Meeting Introduction
Clyde will start us off with an introduction simpler piece for all in a group situation. Many thanks to Clyde for the contributions he makes to our group in this area.
Ensemble Work
We will continue with our ensemble this year as per usual. We will be using the same book we used in 2014. It has some great pieces in it which we can play better. If you have this please recycle it. So for this meeting we will have a play through of the attached pieces. However a booklet is in the pipeline (printed copies $5 each)
We will also play Planxty Irwin but Derek Hasted to be found at

Downloadable versions of the music for you to print can be found at WCGS 2018 Music.
There will be some extra copies at the meeting.
Members playing:
As usual we will have time for members playing. Either ensembles, duos or solos. And please, it does not have to be “classical” music that you perform. Jazz , pop , folk. And also “own compositions” are very welcome. We will have a white board up at the front of the room at the start of the meeting. If you wish to play during this section please add your name to the board and the approximate playing time. Then we will know how much time to give to this section.
