Fiddle Workshops at Weiser

I will be teaching two workshops again this year at the National Oldtime Fiddlers Contest in Weiser, Idaho. If you are going to be at Weiser, and are available to attend the workshops, I would love to see you.

Fiddle workshops

The workshops are:

Jam Session Survival Skills

Jamming is a great way to get comfortable playing music with others, but playing in a jam session can be a bit daunting, especially for beginners. In this workshop, you will learn about different types of Jam Sessions and how they operate, Jam Session etiquette, how to listen for Chord Changes, and what key the tune is in. We will also cover playing accompaniment, chords, fills and licks – what to play when you aren’t playing the lead. This workshop is appropriate for all levels.

Practicing Effectively

Learn how to get the most out of your practice time!  We all know that we need to practice, but few of us actually learn how to practice effectively. This workshop covers the difference between practice and playing, and how to create an effective practice regimen. This workshop is appropriate for all levels and instruments.

Members of the NOTFA will be charged a fee of $10 per workshop. Non-members will be charged a fee of $20 per workshop. Children under 12 participating in workshops may be accompanied by a non-paying adult. Workshop signups will be available Sunday, June 21, across from registration tables: The workshops are held in the Band Room.
