2010 CALLERLAB Convention, Niagara Falls, NY
Phrase Craze
Moderator Clark Baker and Panelist Jim Mayo - This workshop will explore the relationship of patter and singing calling to the musical phrase. We start with a brief definition of terms, and move into some dancing. Does a style of delivery in which the caller gives the dancers the first beat in a phrase better? How often can a skilled caller "hit the phrase"? How can you acquire this skill? What are some examples of strongly phrased music.
