WORKSHOPS & CONCERTS
ONLINE PROGRAMS
During the pandemic, we have been successfully delivering an empowering online version of EYS, where young musicians and singers collaborate on creating their own energy-filled music videos. Small group rehearsals are enhanced with performance and movement workshops; all designed to get your kids owning their spotlight.
EYS Online is here to stay, and is available as a complement to all in-person EYS visits! In the months leading up to our visit, we can beam into your classroom for regular workshops and rehearsals to enrich your students' experience.
TEACHER TRAINING WORKSHOP
Learn all about Mark Wood’s new curriculum that made its debut at the prestigious Ohio State University, and how his methods will give you all the tools you’ll need to keep your students engaged and excited about their musical self-expression. Led by Mark, this workshop provides an essential element towards keeping your string program healthy and thriving.
Get the knowledge and enrichment you want for your students in this classroom-only (no performance) experience. Workshops/master classes focus on technology, improvisation, and composition. Duration of workshops are tailored to your needs and can be anywhere from 1 hour long, half day, or full day sessions.

PERFORMANCE ASSEMBLY
This inspiring event will surely “electrify” your students and administration alike with a powerful electric violin solo performance (with backing tracks). The presentation includes riveting discussions about the importance of expressing oneself through music and art, improvisational techniques, and much more, and will engage students of every level. A question and answer period follows. This is a perfect way to introduce your entire school to the benefits of bringing our Artist Mentors in to work with you and your students, and is sure to whet everyone’s appetite for more!
PLEASE NOTE: This program can only be booked if we are already visiting your school for a more in-depth program OR if you are located within reasonable driving distance from the location of any of our teaching artists.

START AN ELECTRIC ORCHESTRA!
To enhance the ongoing nature of this program and to truly create an ELECTRIC ORCHESTRA of your very own, our suggestion would be for your school to purchase an assortment of electric violins, violas, and/or cellos from Wood Violins, which offers special educator discounts. Our Stingray SVX series and our Concert acoustic/electrics are high quality, affordably priced options to get you started!
We have many authorized dealers throughout the US and Canada who can help you with this OR you may contact us directly for more details!
"I love the tone of old, non-amplified, real acoustic fiddles, and Wood Violins are the closest thing I've found to that sound. They play beautifully!"
A musician should have no boundaries or limitations, whatever their voice, whatever their age, whatever their playing level.
This is Mark Wood’s lifelong philosophy and is evident in both his playing style and Wood Violins, the revolutionary line of electric violins he invented that inspire players the world over to unparalleled creative heights.
