Gospel Harmony Singing
One of our fans' favorite workshops — the band performs a gospel song in full harmony, and then Dean, our vocal arrangement enforcement officer, deconstructs it, part by part. The band chimes in to illustrate Dean's points. With custom-created handouts, the Buzzards divide the workshop members into groups that start singing chords, then parts, in only a few minutes.

Children's Demonstration
Kids have a great time in this high-energy workshop that shows how the various instruments in the band are actually our “drum kit.”

Guitar, Fiddle, Mandolin and Bass Playing
Tom, Dean, and Lisa lead out in instructional workshops for beginners, intermediate, and advanced players. Demonstrations include bluegrass flatpicking, gospel guitar, easy beginning rhythm and backup playing, and rockabilly slap bass.

Arrangements: How Much to Leave Out
The Reedy Buzzards' reputation for spare, clean, elegant arrangements is no accident. This advanced workshop is for performers looking for ways to hone their bands' vocal and instrumental style. The Buzzards show how “less is more” when it comes to tightening up a band's sound.
