Dear all,
Besides the main SOTW TOTM (Tune Of The Month) threads we also have a Beginners&Intermediates TOTM running on SOTW since about January 2010 (check >this< index).
Each month an active TOTM thread member calls a new tune to work on. All SOTW members can post their attempts and results as soundclip or video in the TOTM thread. About five days before the end of the month the host of the current TOTM or the administrator (me!) will ask in the thread who wants to choose and host the next month TOTM.
What we expect (roughly) from a TOTM host:
1. Choose a (new) tune
- Preferably one that has never been picked before
- Check the content of this thread for that (scroll down to see the full index or search using CTRL F)
2. Post the new TOTM thread
- On the last day of the current month or the first day of the new month
- URL for creating the new thread (click on 'Post New Thread' on the left part of the screen): https://forum.saxontheweb.net/forumdisplay.php?68-SOTW-Member-Recordings-amp-Reviews
- Title thread: "SOTW TOTM for <Month> 20XX - <song title> (for example SOTW TOTM for August 2020 - ...)
- Share in the thread at least the Bb and Eb scores of the tune and some examples (can be shared as attachment or as links to a storage site or YouTube)
- If needed I can assist or do this for you
3. During the Month
- Try to be active as listener
- Try to post some feedback on each submission
4. End of the Month
- Try to find a member for hosting the next Month (see also above)
The index gives an overview of selected tunes and thread starters since November 2009 (couldn't find back older threads) and can be used by future hosts to avoid duplications. The administrator will update this main TOTM index with all future TOTM threads.
A great help to find in which book a tune can be found is this link to 'The Fake Book Index':
