We had our early music session today, playing 'Kemp's Jegg' from Playford's 1650 book. To our beginners it looked daunting, so I suggested we play it as if the dotted eighths and sixteenths were all straight eighth notes. Once we got the hang of it and knew how it should go, we played it as written.

People really liked it. We played it so many times we never even got to the other Kemp's Jig.
