Swings Cool

Swings Cool is a class for people who want to learn to play swing band music. You may have noticed that in swing music the dots mean different things to their classical interpretation (quavers longer than crotchets can be particularly confusing) and we learn how to play them. The class is lead by experienced band leader Derek Lawrence.

Traditional swing bands have 5 saxes, 4 trumpets, string bass, keyboard, drums and sometimes guitar. As our objective is for everyone to learn the swing style we don't limit the numbers in any section and we welcome other instruments. We also don't laugh at anybody!

We rehearse on a Sunday morning once a month at Downend Library, Buckingham Gardens, Bristol BS16 5TW map. Contact Chris Chaloner by or phone 0117 330 8577 if you would like to take part.
