This is a slow session.<br>Bain sult as! (enjoy)<br><br>Etiquette guidelines:<br>1) Going around in a circle, everyone has a turn to choose a tune and<br> the tempo.<br>2) Try to maintain the tempo set by the person who chose the tune.<br> Conversely, if you choose a tune and tempo and find that the tempo<br> gets sped up too much while playing, don't be shy about asking that<br> it be immediately played again sticking to the slower tempo -- it's<br> good practice for everyone.<br>3) A single tune is played 3 times. In a set, each tune is played<br> twice.<br>4) If needed, bring your music stand and tuneset book.
