Joe offers workshops on several topics, which he gives at music camps, schools, studios, and festivals.
Recording Acoustic InstrumentsWorkshop on recording acoustic instruments and vocals in your home studioMy most-requested workshop helps non-professionals learn to make the most of their home recordings. I answer questions about recording and demonstrate with a Pro Tools mixing session on my laptop. More about my Home Recording Workshop > |

American Fiddling StylesWorkshop by Joe WeedI have been fiddling and traveling the US since the early 1970’s. I play and teach many regional American fiddling styles, and can craft a workshop to suit your event. More about my Fiddling Workshop > |

Tune WritingWorkshop by Joe WeedI help attendees identify the skills needed to write fiddle tunes and offer strategies for developing those skills. I have recorded three albums of original music, and have written dozens of additional pieces. Many of these are “fiddle tunes” that are played at dances and concerts. In my workshops, I love providing hands-on opportunities to help people discover the pleasure of writing their own tunes. Read More > |

Meet the Film MakerWorkshop by Joe WeedIn 2011, I released a full-length documentary film, “The Waltz to Westphalia,” which tells how a bawdy Polish wedding song became a “traditional” American fiddle tune known by a German name. At our session, I show several chapters from the film and tell behind-the-scenes stories about the people and places I saw during my travels around Texas, New England, and the Midwest. I ask for input from the audience regarding composition, substance, and style, and happily answer questions about the story and the DVD production. Read More > |
