READ WHAT WE DO OR SCROLL DOWN TO WHAT WE ARE DOING NEXT
In September 2020 it was decided to try and learn the skills necessary to operate via Zoom meetings. All members installed the app and sessions have continued to be enthusiastically attended. The sessions are planned beforehand and members are in frequent email contact about available concerts and events and the coming programme. Anyone considering joining this group should contact the group leader via the 'pigeon post' on this page
What we do
When possible We meet in Bucksburn (Leader’s home) on Tuesday evenings at 7p.m. The actual date is arranged each month to best suit the majority of members. This group is very interactive and members are invited to develop the programmes as we go along and make contributions according to their interests and experience.
{What we have done} In previous sessions we learned about music from early days until the twenty-first century. We use CDs, DVDs, vinyl recordings, streamed/YouTube and even occasionally a live performance!
We have included classical music, jazz, world music, folk, film, popular and rock. Sessions were increasingly introduced by members with interest in different genres. This proved popular and learning was enjoyed by all, including those who led the sessions!
At the ‘end of term’ we usually have a themed ‘fun evening’, when members share their favourite music.
