Learning by ear workshop with Lissa Schneckenburger (US)

January 5th, 2023 from 20:00 untill 21:30 (CET)

For those who have limited experience learning fiddle or another lead instrument by ear, it can really be a challenge to face a new way of learning and playing. Perhaps you're used to reading from music, or you play by ear but find it difficult to pick up new tunes. This gets easier over time, but how do you get started? We’ll go through a series of exercises designed to help strengthen your ears over time, and improve your ability to learn tunes on the fly. No experience necessary, all instruments welcome.

Fiddler and folk singer Lissa Schneckenburger grew up in Maine as an active member of the folk community, where she learned to play at the feet of some of the most venerable musicians in New England.  She has continued to explore music throughout her life, leading to her graduation from The New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, Massachusetts (2001).  Lissa has played all over the world, including appearances in Russia, Holland, Belgium, Sweden, Denmark, Canada, and the United States.  Hew newest solo album is a collection of original fiddle tunes written at the beginning of the pandemic. While embracing a diverse pallet of musical influences, she still stays true to her New England roots.

“I find these sessions to be very well organized, clearly presented, and very productive. I have been working on ear training for a while (not very successfully) but with your instruction I feel as though I have started to develop a better ear – I figured out the first tune AND I’ve been able to put it to memory! Thank you Lissa!” - Neil Butler, student
