Avery’s Solo Workshops
How to Sing and Play at the Same Time: You've nailed the strum pattern, locked in the chords — then opened your mouth and watched it all unravel. This workshop breaks the problem into layers and rebuilds them through exercises until singing and playing click together.
Rhythm: Your body was your first instrument. This workshop deepens your rhythmic sense — grounding your strumming patterns, time signatures, and overall groove — and touches on how to choose the right strum pattern for a song.
Larry’s Solo Workshops:
Chord Transitions/Up the Neck: Learn smoother ways to move between chords, explore inversions of common GCEA chords up the neck, and apply it all through progressions that show up in nearly every style of music.
Fingerpicking the Uke: Build independent finger movement through basic rolls, then apply them to chords and songs you already know — a reliable way to make familiar material feel fresh and dynamic.
Joint Workshop: Voice Harmonizing: Avery takes the lead, Larry supports - Learn to find and sing harmony lines to a melody — then put it straight into practice together.
Ensemble Workshop: Larry Wyatt leads · Avery Hill supports. Ukestra-style ensemble playing - a great way to make music with others without the pressure of performing solo.
Jack Williams- Harmonica: Jack has played harmonica since 1996. Bring a Diatonic Harmonica in Key of C.
Carrie Rodlend: Marimba, Dancing permitted.
