Dance Leadership and Dance Calling

Instructor: Bill Olson
All Levels

There are few better ways of building a musical community than to start a local dance, either regular or occasional. We’re talking a community dance or “barn dance” where everyone is welcome regardless of age or experience. To make this happen in your community you need musicians, a place to do it, and most of all a dance leader to teach and call the dances. READ MORE

Cajun Music

December 26, 2018 By

Instructor: Pam Weeks; Bill Olson

In 1755 French people were expelled from Canada when the English gained control of Quebec and New Brunswick. Those who settled in SW Louisiana are the source of the vibrant, passionate Cajun music of today. We’ll learn a Cajun two-step and/or waltz and how to “second” (chordal accompaniment), concentrating on the markers that separate this music from other fiddling styles.

Sound equipment

December 26, 2018 By

Instructor: Bill Olson
All Levels

Sound amplification is often needed for a concert or a dance, maybe to play for a large audience, or a noisy one (like at a dance). Or maybe for ensemble playing, with instruments that project differently (A mountain dulcimer tuba ensemble comes to mind.) There’s SO MUCH gear out there. New, used, big, small expensive, cheap…yikes. Where do you begin and what do you really need? We’ll try to dispel some myths and point you in the right direction.
