MUSIC WORKSHOPS AND LESSONS
To sign up or ask questions, email Darcie for weekly workshops or for private lessons anytime in South Austin.
- Fiddle
Explore alternate tunings, country, swing, old time, bluegrass, Cajun, blues, rock & roll- (which includes pickups, effect pedals, amps, etc.) soloing and backup.
- Mandolin
In and out of the box chord patterns, and an overview of the mandolin's role in a band. There are many ways you can add texture or color to an arrangement. Playing fiddle tunes, working out solos and improvising are part of this.
- Guitar
Beginner, intermediate, flatpicking and fingerpicking. We’ll use the same approach as in the mandolin comments above.
- Beginning piano
- Singing lead and harmony
- How to play in a band, how to be asked back to your favorite sessions-
Anyone who plays guitar, fiddle, mandolin, bass, percussion, piano (bring your own keyboard), or sings... and any other instrument I haven't mentioned - is welcome. Nobody will be left out! I lead this workshop with tips on leading/fronting a band, and the dos and don'ts of back up. Wondering what singers expect from each member of the band? When is less more? What are the important things to be paying attention to?
- Improvisation on any instrument
- Want to play violin, viola, cello, or upright bass, but don't know how to start?
Do you have one but can’t get started? Do you want to buy or rent one? I’ll help you learn about tuning, rosining, bowing and soundinggood on these fascinating unfretted instruments!
- Playing with your family
We’ll work through the best and the worst parts of playing with people you know all too well. I'll help you get good results.
