Dance Musician’s Workshop, 9/23/2023

Are you a musician who would like to know more about how to play for social dance? Join TADAMS for a workshop taught by Janet Muse (Piano) and Mike Dunn (fiddle) of Charlottesville.

What you Need to Know

• Moderate comfort level with your instrument, i.e. can play a melody line or chords. Ability to read music is helpful but not necessary.
• No experience playing for dance necessary.
• No age requirements.
• Bring your instrument(s); we welcome a broad variety, not just the “contra dance usuals.”
• Janet & Mike will play the contra dance at West End Ballroom that evening, 7:30-10:30 p.m.

What to Expect

• Discussion of specific music needs to support a lively dance. Examples will be played for each concept. Notes will be distributed.
• Play some tunes and medleys toegether.
