GUEST,Heely Sea Shanties timing and tempo (34) RE: Sea Shanties timing and tempo 10 Mar 00


As a Chanty singer and a teacher, may I suggest that you hand some of the students a mop, give some others a piece of stout rope to tug back and forth, or better yet, put them abourd an old vessel nearby and have them haul at the dock. Then ask them to set the tempo that they need. That is what the Chanteyman did.
