Orchestra
Last Thursday our newly built "First North German Banjo Orchestra" had it´s first rehearsal. We should have been nine banjos. Unfortunatly there were some cancellations (hopefully those guys will be with us next time) so we were just five banjos and one G-instrument (it´s name will not be mentioned on this banjo blog :-))) We had lots of fun and will continue to learn that rhythm is it timing is it practicing is a must practicing with a metronome is obligatory (at least some times). It is astounding that we started each tune Andante and always ended up Allegro. We will work on this - some of us with a metronome. Here is how we gave a try to The Wind That Shakes The Barley . Next meeting will be announced on this blog.
