Oldtime Fiddle with Riley Calcagno "We will dive into old time fiddling, investigating how to be relaxed fiddlers that drive a jam or band. I find that having a fluid bow arm opens up a lot of groove potential, so we’ll work on a little technique along with some common bowing patterns that gives tunes life. We will then learn a tune together, listening to an older recording and trying to glean the special bits. Lastly, we’ll talk about how to get better on your own, learn tunes, and develop a style that feels comfortable!"

Getting the Most Out of a Song w/ Vivian Leva 
"There are three things I like to consider when choosing and singing a song: what makes it special, how to get the most out of it, and how to make it my own. In this workshop we'll identify what makes a song interesting: melodies, harmonies, ornamentation, rhythm, and phrasing. We'll work on recreating those nuances, through both listening and singing. We'll also get creative, adding our own individual touches. We might sing songs from old-time, country, and/or bluegrass repertoires. There might even be some duets and harmony singing!"
