Who would think that teaching ukulele would be stable at all, you know? But I found it to be fairly stable through this so far. It was like every weekend, you know? I feel for them and they would kind of teach, but they’re really performers. I feel for so many of the folks I know that like their whole thing was that they were performers and they would go to these festivals and they would do like 12, 15, 20, 30 festivals in a year.

Yeah it’s and it’s such a wild thing because I think everybody it’s just leveled the playing field in a way you know. I didn’t have to implement any changes really to adapt which is why I was sort of curious to get on here and talk with you and really dive into what you’ve been doing differently and to kind of hear about that. Still we’re running the website and making videos and doing that kind of a thing. Our numbers are better than elsewhere, but it’s still, you know, knife’s edge a little bit as far as I’m concerned not much has changed in my business kind of model. How is it going up there in Hawaiʻi? Down there, over there?īB: We’re hanging in there. I’ll suffice it to say it’s a huge adjustment. I didn’t realize how much information I got through my ears from teaching. In my teaching environment I don’t um, I have everybody mute so it’s really weird it’s this like the boy in the bubble or kind of like you fell down the well kind of thing you know every once in a while I just have to have people unmute and make a lot of noise, really, short bursts just to make me feel normalized.

You know it’s it but it’s just been a wild ride all around. I think is so many teachers just like what is Zoom? How does Zoom work? You know, what is original sound? You know, um how do I disable echo cancellation? Those kinds of questions um and then then realizing wow this works pretty well in a lot of ways. So it you know it’s just been a a radical change getting used to that. And in that way I might you know I could be in uh in Oessa in the Ukraine I could be in Odessa, Texas I could be wherever. And that’s been my business so um, it’s all Zoom. KC: Well, you know I don’t know if it’s any different here than it would be anywhere else because, you know, I haven’t had a human being in in my house since early March.įirst week of March. I’m excited to see you and be here, be part of it.īB: Yeah! How have things been from a teaching perspective out in Austin, Texas? I can’t wait to hear how he has changed things and grown into sort of this new model of ukulele instruction. So gonna talk story with him a little bit and find out how he’s adapting and coping with the changes that COVID has brought to the ukulele teaching scene. Met this great guy and then haven’t seen him since but we’ve been staying in touch on Zoom and via phone calls ever since.Īnd every time I talk to him he’s doing something new or he’s packed just nine to five with ukulele lessons and he’s been really doing some great things for the ukulele community in Austin, Texas. We actually roomed together which is part of the reason that I’ve come to know and love Kevin as much as I have is we’re kind of like long-lost brothers and that’s the last time I saw him, unfortunately. I can’t remember which year that was, but we were teaching at the Hawaiʻi Island Ukulele Retreat. I had the chance to listen into one of his classes and actually be one of the parts when we were teaching together a couple years ago. And he’s created lots of arrangements for these. In which the group plays arrangements in an ensemble style where you’re sort of copying, say, maybe what a string quartet might do in an ukulele classroom setting. He’s got a fabulous book of arrangements and has done a lot of kind of revolutionary things for teaching with a classroom workshop that he’s brought lots of attention to that is the Ukestra. He’s probably put in more hours teaching in the past couple years than most of us put together. Today I’m featuring a guest who is based out of Austin, Texas and is one of the busiest people in the ukulele world that I know. – The Art of the Ensemble for Ukulele and BassīB: Aloha! Welcome to The Live Ukulele Podcast, episode number two. What’s it like to switch from a huge roster of in-person ukulele classes to teaching everything online? In this episode Brad is joined by Austin-based Kevin Carroll to break down how he’s been adapting his teaching style and what he recommends for new virtual students.
