Halsway Virtual Bar Session
2020 was a strange year. We lost all of the courses that we were supposed to run at Halsway Manor. So using the magic of green screen we filmed a series of Virtual sessions in the bar. This is the fruit of our labour. I have ordered them here from easy to hard, work your way through them! Sessions will be starting up again - they'll be At Home with Vicki & Jonny. Watch this space! The videos are open to all - but to get the music lessons you'll need to be a subscriber (or a student)
