Lets Make Music -
The Ridings Virtual
Folk Group
One of the best
reasons for caravanning with The Ridings is that we have made it an
opportunity to enjoy making music together. Increasing use of computers has
let us communicate more easily, for example this website. But a
computer can also help make music. Thinking about the activities to do with
folk music provides the following list:
-
The need to learn
to use and practice an instrument or voice
-
Find music to play
-
Find accompaniment
for making music
-
Keep a library of
music or tunes
-
Talk to others
about music.
-
Learn to read
music
-
Learn to write
music
-
Finding music to
go with dances.
For every one of
the above a computer, with the internet, can help you to start or improve.
The pages of The
Ridings Virtual Folk should
help you to start using your computer to find music on the Internet and then
use your computer to read, write, play, compose, listen to and store music, particularly
folk music.
