The tune of the month for January is appropriately, The Teetotallers
I hoped when setting up the website and the session that it would help my playing improve. Thanks to everyone coming along, I think we have ALL improved! It is very encouraging to play with others, especially as we are all learning together. So a big thank you and well done to all!
The website has now been viewed over 180,000 times and has steadily increased:
And the Oxford Slow Session playlist on Spotify has been saved 89 times!

I’ve added a nice easy tune for February: L’Air Mignonne
But I’ve also created a new Archive page (scroll down to the bottom of the Tune pages) for the tunes that we don’t play. I thought too many tunes is daunting for newcomers and so I’m trying to keep the website to the 100-ish tunes that we do play, and archive ones that we’re less keen on to make space for new tunes for us to learn. I find that learning a new tune is a tremendous motivation for practice but having too many to learn can be off-putting. I hope this ends up being a good balance.
Happy New Year!
