Workshop Themes:
Personalized Workshops/Workshop Á la Carte is the by far the most-common clinic/workshop/seminar contracted. In this option, I customize a presentation fit to the manufacturers request, usually for new gear to be presented in a conference setting. These tend to last anywhere from 15 minutes to 1 hour and can include things such as a live product tutorial followed by one-on-one demonstrations in the booth. This is for all levels of players as well as interested distribution companies.
Metal + Jazz Fusion is a clinic which includes a 1.5-2 hour musical demonstration including analysis and methods. It can also transform into a workshop which includes the clinic model, with hands on instruction lasting 3-4 hours (particpants must bring their own instruments).
Here, the audience can participate (in workshop models) or observe (in clinic models) to gain unique knowledge in blending these two sound styles into a unique form. This clinic/workshop is for medium to advanced skilled players.
Advanced Metal Techniques is a 1-2 hour musical demonstration including analysis and methods focusing on the physical execution of complex metal.
In this workshop, the audience will learn picking positioning, alternative picking movements, and advanced fingering methods. This clinic is for medium to advanced skilled players.
Approaches to Soloing is a 1-1.5 hour musical demonstration including analysis and methods focusing on the underlying approaches to soloing that are beyond theory and technique.
In this workshop, the audience will learn to develop more meaningful solos regardless of genre or skill level. The methods help participants to develop and visualize storylines, expressions, motives, and fluidity in soloing.
This seminar is for all skill levels.
Musicians Mind is a versatile seminar series that can range from a 60 minute speech on the mental aspects of stage performance to a week long seminar and training on identifying and overcoming stage fright.
Musicians Mind helps musicians realize their potential.
For example, as musicians we experience situations in which we perform in public; it may be for friends, by the campfire, in the classroom, on the stage or in studio auditions. It is normal to feel nervousness and anxiety. Some people feel palpitations, weak knees or stomach pressure.
It is important to cope with this and Provide the best possible outcome and – most importantly – to have fun and enjoyment in synthesis situations. This seminar is for all skill levels.
