Learn Moon River

This session is one of our Music Corner Drop-in series with Jamie McCredie. Generally we run them weekly each Tuesday at 7.30pm and delve into a broad range of subjects relating to technique, theory, know-how, practice or something topical in the guitar world.

Over two sessions we’ll be looking at how to play Henry Mancini’s  classic song ‘Moon River’.

 

Overview

Moon River is a goregous melody with haunting lilt.

We’re learning this song over two sessions:

Session 1 – the basic song i.e. basic how-to-play the melody and  harmony

Session 2 – embellishments and creating and arrangement of it.

This is a cool song to have in your repertoire and Jamie will explain what works and why. Lots to take away and use in some of you own songs.

 

Buying options

You can buy either session or both.
