Western Swing & Texas Fiddle Workshops
Texas Style Fiddle Workshop
Our workshop focus will be on Texas style fiddling…. From a skill standpoint, we will be teaching intermediate and advanced levels. The teaching method is primarily by ear – no CD or booklet. We recommend that students record the instruction – audio is fine and video is even better – and also have pen/pencil and paper for taking notes. It would be helpful to know what tunes the student currently plays in determining their level. If the student is wondering if the workshop is a good fit, they are welcome to drop us an email to discuss. If you have questions, contact Joey McKenzie or Sherry McKenzie at we [email protected] or call 817-875-6022. This will be great!
