Champion fiddlers Dale and Tobi Morris teach fiddle, guitar and mandolin to people of all ages, from toddlers to senior citizens.

Dale and Tobi invite you to take lessons at their studio in Boyd, Texas (ten miles south of Decatur). All lessons are taught individually and consist of weekly half or one hour sessions.

Lessons are tailored to each individual's needs,
interests, age, and experience level. Students are
taught to play by ear, standard sheet music or tablature..

If you are interested in taking lessons, please call or email Dale and Tobi

for pricing and session availability.

Please include the instrument and style of music you are interested in learning to play, your skill level, as well as your address and
phone number.

For distance learning, telephone lessons are also available.

We also teach via web cam.

Can a Tone Deaf Person Learn How to Play the Fiddle?
Below is a testimonial from one of our new web-cam students from New Hampshire.

TELEPHONE LESSONS

Actually, the mother of a student of ours from Alaska came up with the idea. She deserves full credit.

Obviously, Alaska is quite a distance from Texas and just about the only lessons that her son had is whenever they came to Texas on vacation or whenever we taught in Washington State when they are visiting relatives.The bottom line is that lessons were FEW and FAR BETWEEN!!!

She called one night to ask if we'd consider trying to teach him by "speakerphone." We were very skeptical at first. How could it possibly work? How expensive would a one hour long distance call be?

Would we be able to teach, not being able to "see the student" or the "student see us "? It DID WORK! In fact, I would never have dreamed how well. Upon doing the first of these lessons we realized the following:

• We did not have to see the student. We could tell by listening where problems existed. By having taught so many privately, we also knew how to fix these problems, i.e., an out-of-tune note. We would know what was causing him to play this note wrong and tell him how to fix it over the phone!

• Being less distracted by visual things certainly caused us to listen more closely.

If you are interested in learning this way, give us a call (940-433-5741) or drop us an e-mail.

Video Lessons Via Web-Cam

NEW - as of Sept. 2009 we are offering VIDEO LESSONS via WEB-CAM. Should you have interest, web cameras are very inexpensive. This is really your only expense, as far as getting started. There is a free program called Skype that will need to be downloaded. From this point on a lesson is scheduled. Please give us a call at area code 940-433-5741 for more information.
