| Details | | Music is Great! It can be very emotional, but after a Music For FUN session you can guarantee that your spirits will be lifted and you will leave with a spring in your step! Everyone can join in the singing, musicians of all abilities also come along and play their instruments. We occasionally listen to a tune or two and even have a bit of a dance, but really the music leads the singing. Themed mornings, from Scottish songs, Russian songs, Water songs, Irish Songs, Happy Songs, songs about Northern Towns and singing the Blues add to the variety! Songs from the thirties through to the seventies (and occasionally even more modern) songs are sung. Usually Graham, Graham and Lesley lead the sessions, but others also take their turn in leading a part of a session or even just a song. Not everybody wants to do this and that is fine, we are a very relaxed group. If you feel like joining in with the musicians, there are always percussion instruments available. Words and chords are projected onto a screen, so everyone can see. This year we have a new venue – Trinity Methodist Church, Westmorland St, Skipton, and sessions are held every Tuesday morning with a coffee/tea break in the middle. We are a very friendly and supportive group. I would like to invite you along to a session, then you can see for yourself what we do. |
