We
meet Sunday afternoons from 3pm to 4pm. The next meeting is provisionally
fixed for
Sunday
12th February 2012 at Fiona & Duncan Fyfe's
with possible further sessions on
Sunday 25th March and Sunday 22nd April.
"Young
Folk" sessions are an opportunity for children to learn traditional
folk songs, to have fun singing together as families and to encourage
children's musical development.
Young
Folk meet for singing and percussion from 3 to 4pm at friends' houses,
followed by snacks. Joy and Eric usually lead! We have plenty of
percussion instruments for everyone to use and look after. At each
session we have some new songs - and some old favourites. Don't
worry if you've forgotten them - they'll soon come back to you.
Children
of all ages welcome. We ask that children are accompanied by an
adult - it's a family affair. You can bring grandparents along too
if you like. There are no age limits to Young Folk, though it's
probably best suited to children from 5-12. There's no charge, but
we suggest a donation of £2 per child (certainly no more than
£4 a family) to help cover costs - adults free! But the money's
not important - we just want to share the music with as many people
as possible.
For further information and to confirm dates telephone Fiona or
Joy on 0115 978 6858 or email.
Here
are links to the words of some of the songs we sing. Some of
the song words include a link to an mp3 (audio) of Joy singing them.
Use the words to learn the songs at home -- but try to come to the
session without the support of printed sheets! Suggested amendments
to the words and/or extra songs are welcome at any time!
We
have also put on-line audio files of a live
Young Folk session, a number
of nursery rhymes and other children's
songs sung by Joy.
Remember
to bring your voice with you, and generally no kids without adults,
no adults without kids!
