Robin Garside is tutoring a Folk Course for Fretted Instruments as part of the BMG Federation Summer School weekend at Benslow Music Trust, Hitchin, Herts 11th-13th June. This course is open to plectrum or tenor banjo, mandolin and guitar. It will suit all levels of ability apart from complete beginners, although if you can play a few chords or a melody line, that's fine. Tunes will be provided in music, tab and audio so that non-music readers can learn them in their preferred way and they will be available beforehand to give everyone an opportunity to become familiar with them. Music will be from traditional sources or written music in a traditional genre. To book, telephone Benslow Music Trust 01462 459446 or download a booking form from www.benslow.org. For further information about the weekend please contact BMG Federation course co-ordinator Henry Girvan 01592 630374 or email henry.girvan@btinternet.com Also see websites www.benslow.org and www.banjomandolinguitar.org
