**Note: please message Xie if you'd be interested in joining this session, including songs you'd like to put forward.**

**This session will focus on "standardising" some songs - simplifying or otherwise changing their forms so that they're easier to call at a jam.**

"Future standards":

This session will focus on compositions from the last 30-40 years, that you'd like to play. These can include your own compositions. Vocals or instrumental.

Some approximate guidance on what would fit as a "standard"
1\. discernible melody
2\. repeating form that is ideally

* not too short (fewer than 8 measures)
* or too long (more than 4 distinct sections

3\. no reliance on extended techniques

These are some examples from previous sessions that we've established work quite well in this context:

Here is a "wishlist" of songs that could work, but pending lead sheets. Please feel free to write up for any of these songs and suggest for a future session.
