While I LOVE teaching you here online, I’d really love to come see you in person!
If you are interested in having me come to your area, you can use the flyer to the right here if you’d like.
Here are the details –
- You get the building secured. I’ll make a special flyer for your day’s workshop. Once we schedule it and discuss your needs.
- I’ll include the details of each block of instruction and proposed schedule (see the right for sample schedule)
- You disseminate the information through your club and get people to sign up. (I will make you a registration form to print out for people to sign up.)
- You collect the money and registrations by cash or check.
- I’ll come and teach and we’ll have a super fun day. You’ll pay me the registration fees (not lunch fees).
- Cost – All 3 blocks – $40, 2 blocks – $30, or 1 block only $15 (you would need to have someone who manages this day of if they don’t purchase all 3).
- Jam is FREE to all.
- I will contact you periodically to see how registrations are coming along and promote it on my website/socials.
**if by chance you don’t get enough registrations to cover my costs, no worries we can cancel/reschedule up to 2 weeks prior to my visit.
Sample Schedule – just a generic example, we can adjust
9AM – 10:30AM – JAM SESSION – students are encouraged to attend but not required. Relaxed jam session.
10:30-11:00AM- Coffee break, socialize, get ready to go!
11-12PM – 1st Block – We learn a song together, play the melody, work on the chords, etc.
12-1PM – Lunch and socialize
1PM-2PM – 2nd Block – We work on a special technique / which includes a new song. We can add in techniques as we go.
2-2:30PM – Break – great time to socialize, I’ll have my vending table set up also.
2:30-3:30PM – 3rd Block – I teach you how to completely arrange a song. This can all be leveled accordingly depending on the class levels.
3:30-3:45PM – Break
3:45 – 4:15PM – Mini-Concert (You decide, FREE for all or small entry fee).
4:15 – 4:30PM – Socialize, breakdown the room, cleanup, etc.
Workshop block ideas –
We can do any number of topics and we will discuss. Things I commonly do are:
- Hymns, shape notes
- Smooth strumming, timing and rhythms
- Chords and back up
- Fiddle tunes (and how to make them fancy)
- Flat-picking off the melody line
- Specific song blocks – learn the whole song (we all play it together) we learn the chords also.
- Waltzes
- Tons and tons more
Areas I’ll visit easily –
North Georgia, Western NC, East TN. Anything farther than that is doable and we will discuss. We would want enough registrations to cover hotel and gas.
If you have questions or want to inquire, my email is above.
Thanks and I hope to be coming to you soon!
