Hi fellow contra musicians :)
I'm reaching out with a question both wearing my contra musician and my
contra caller hat.
*How do you label/categorize your sets?*
*And what descriptors do you like to hear from callers in order to decide
what set to play?*
As a musician, I've played with many different ways of describing my
various bands' sets. As a caller, I've tried various descriptors.
I've tried to capture these in a google document
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18FpoaGreXoj8eXXkCcgksgwgzKVwRncg2ps…>.
The * items are the descriptors I'm likely to rely on if I'm calling. You
can see I often go for describing the movement that the tunes might invoke
and sometimes go to the feelings too.
I'd love to get your input!
You could fill out your own column or two in the table or write back here.
Any and all thoughts welcome.
I'd love to hear your favourite descriptors.
Thanks :)
Emily in Ottawa
