Other Hats - Same Head 🧢 🎩
I'm available for live performances as an accompanist and a competent sight-reader in a variety of genres.
Project depending, I can usually improvise or write something that fits with a quick turnaround. But am down to discuss and help actualize your creative vision for your project. No giant steps reharmonizations please. Please no. I'm not that kind of guy.
I can help arrange, notate or produce recordings of other's music and know lots of players on different instruments and can actualize / manifest creative vision or pull a boss rhythm section together.
Or again I can simply lay down some tracks and send them to you remotely if you want...
I have also done music for weddings and special events - organized bands and provided music for ceremony and / or receptions.
Contact me at earthtowilsonATgmailDOTcom - or find me on the gram and message there - or carrier pigeon.
Teaching:
By day I currently teach elementary music in Hays CISD, using the Kodaly
approach to literacy and incorporating songs and music from Classical to pop and from around the world.
I taught for 6 years at Maplewood Elementary, where I created and piloted the Maplewood Ukulele Choir and Drum Ensemble, sometimes
40 players strong, singing folk tunes to Tom Waits or Elvis Costello and for 4 years at the Austin Discovery School in East Austin.
Some evenings I teach private lesssons to adults: theory, improvisation, songwriting, basic guitar or piano.
I've led large group instruction of children and adults, for beginning to intermediate guitar, ukulele, and drumming ensembles
and also a variety of summer camp experiences / sessions for songwriting-ukules- more
