+This page lists the tunes selected for the monthly Oxford Beginners session.
+
+The Oxford Beginners session is an opportunity for all inexperienced
+musicians to gather and play together. The tunes, all popular in the
+folk session repertoire, are chosen because we think they're
+tunes that even those who have only been playing for a few weeks can have
+a go at. They don't require a fast tempo, and the range of notes is limited.
+But they're still real tunes, as played at other sessions.
+
+The first tunes in the list are those we think are especially easy.
+Start with those!
+
+The tunes are drawn mostly from the Cry Havoc session repertoire.
+Others are taken from the [Oxford Slow Session](https://oxfordslowsession.com/).
