Dani Joy will be with us to teach a 1 hour class:
Hello Strum, Nice to Meet You!
Is your club in the down-up strumming rut, otherwise known as Incessant Strumming Syndrome?
In this workshop you will learn some simple dynamic techniques which will take your strum to the next level.
We will talk about volume control, attack, how to add flourishes to spice things up and above all; how to listen.
You'll be adding texture and soothing accompaniment before you know it!
Player level: Beginner-Intermediate

- Setlist file: 2020 April 30 updated.4ss - Updated 4/30 10:50 a.m.
Note the modified file name. Downloading a setlist with a duplicate file name causes confusion - forScore appends a digit to the setlist name that isn't obvious. To avoid that confusion, it has a new name. Just download the updated version.

iPad owners - you can import a setlist and its songs to forScore.
- Visit this web page using Safari on an iPad.
- Touch and hold a setlist file such as 2020 Mar 5.4ss.
- Select "Open"
- Wait for, and then select "Open in forScore". Voila.
- Not working for me this year (2020), maybe due to new version of iOS (iPadOS 13.3), or new version of forScore (11.1.7), maybe a new procedure, something like:
- Visit this web page ...
- Touch setlist file, hold until "Download" question appears.
- Touch Download when it asks. Twice?
- At the top of Safari window, you should see a small download symbol (down arrow) to the right of the url. If you see it soon enough, you can watch the progress of the download. Touch the download symbol.
- If you're lucky, the desired setlist file appears in the download list
- Touch the desired download file. Say whatever incantation works for you.
- File should be downloaded into forScore.
- .
- If you download a setlist with the same name, the second copy gets renamed with a digit appended, e.g. 2020 Pennsylvania 2. In forScore select the setlist with the new name.
