3 Chord Thursday Waltz

On Thursday 1st December 2022, we gather to play chords following a medley of famous waltzes. You can also request to perform a waltz via this Google Form. A waltz is a dance in 3/4 time. A waltz does not have to be traditional, it can be a pop song in 3/4 time. Check out the Spotify list to get inspiration and ideas. (Read about it HERE and the quest for waltzes of Carulli). See you before 3 pm EST to start on time with a warm-up lesson. If you have the new Zoom link, you will get the PDF to this waltz medley in advance to practice.
