10 Oct 06 - 03:04 PM (#1855106) Subject: RE: Katherine Tickell - Channel 5 tonight From: greg stephens What a difference in approach from the Folk Britannia series. Those programmes eemed to think that folk music was something to play on stage at concerts, just like classical and rock. The Tickell thing had a very good stab at trying to see how the music sits in a community context: possibly why it's called "folk music"(just a thought). |

10 Oct 06 - 03:31 PM (#1855153) Subject: RE: Katherine Tickell - Channel 5 tonight From: GUEST Watched it and liked it very much. Small niggle. Why do folk musicians have to pretend to that reading the music is not quite the real thing. Nobody for generations has learned the great treasury of tunes on grandpappy's knee. Notation is a fabulous thing. Reading it is an essential skill, not an embarrasment that puts you at arm's length from authenticity. |

Greg - definately agree - far better approach than Folk Brittania see that young group towards the end of the programme - wow the future of folk music must surely be safe in their hands, see that whistle player go!!

10 Oct 06 - 03:40 PM (#1855173) Subject: RE: Katherine Tickell - Channel 5 tonight From: The Borchester Echo What Kathryn Tickell said was that she taught tunes by ear and gave her students the notation to take away with them. As someone who relies totally on notation, I find it a handicap and wish I wasn't too scared to learn by ear. For one thing, ear learning is quicker, as she pointed out. When I have beeen brave enough to do it, the tune has gone straight into my head then directly to fingers, bypassing the need to visualise the notation or even having to dive surreptitiously into a manuscript notebook to remind myself of the first few bars. I'm convinced her way is better though I don't practice what I preach very much. |

10 Oct 06 - 04:33 PM (#1855233) Subject: RE: Katherine Tickell - Channel 5 tonight From: GUEST,Hootenanny To Guest above. I cannot agree that reading music is an essential skill for the genre that we generally call "Folk". I believe that it is the ear learning process that makes this music as interesting and exciting as it is. Often at sessions you will get a newcomer to the music coming along who may be very accomplished at reading music, ask them if they would like to play a number and they will often play something they have learned from a book. Nothing wrong with that but until they have done a fair amount of playing with others and without the fly specs to follow, their playing is often very stilted. Not because they cannot play but because it is impossible to write down the way the music is played, you can only do so much on paper. Give me ear musicians any day. |

10 Oct 06 - 05:31 PM (#1855279) Subject: RE: Katherine Tickell - Channel 5 tonight From: greg stephens I do a lot of tune teaching and workshops on fiddle tunes etc, at festivals with the Boat Band ans so on. We do the same as Kathryn said, teach the tunes slowly by ear, and dish out sheet music at the end of the day if anyone wants an aide-memoire. If you hand out sheet music at the start, the good readers read it straight off, and then always seem to be saying "Next?". I would much sooner spend a long time getting it people to learn it carefully by ear and finger and brain, not by readinfg. Then it sticks, and it is a nice collective experience for everyone. |

If I were only 30 years, no, make that 40 years younger, A bit better looking, a lot slimmer and a much more accomplished singer/guitarist, she would have to beat me off with a stick! On the notation v playing by ear front, a schoolteacher from way back then, played cello in a theatre orchestra. She told us that, on a long run, the music went from the paper to the fingers without really going through the brain. There was a long passage for the two cellos and her partner played a severely bum note. Afterwards, the offendee explained that the note crawled along the page and flew off - it was a fly! Eddie |

Mind you, I can watch myself for hours, I think I'm gorgeous, but it might not suit everyone! |
