Workshop Topics
Musical Investigations
Learning to see music as patterns rather than individual notes increases a musician’s ability to learn it more quickly, securely, and musically. Together we explore how to make these connections for ourselves and for our students.
Beyond Woodshedding
Thoughtless woodshedding leads to frustrated, exhausted, and physically tired musicians yet so often that's what we resort to. In this workshop we explore ways to practice that engage the mind and body to keep us challenged, encouraged, and constantly improving.
The Practicing Singer
Unlike most instrumentalists, spending hours singing in a practice room isn't always the healthiest option for singers. In this workshop we will explore various ways to learn and practice, some of which involve singing and some which don't so that music is learned quickly, accurately, and musically.
