hanks to Rio Grande Early Music @ the Not Back to School Fair

In case you missed the gentleman in the corner playing or showing off his many wonderful instruments you need to come to our next fair and check him out or better yet contact him for classes or demonstrations of his instruments. I know many homeschoolers that play historical instruments (along with modern ones) but Dale Taylor is a great teacher and resource for those families! He is also an author of Writer's Guide to Everyday Life in Colonial America: From 1607-1783 (Writer's Guide to Everyday Life Series), check it out on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Writers-Guide-Everyday-Colonial-America/dp/0898799422/ref=sr_1_1/002-9162236-6454417?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1188841273&sr=8-1

Thank you Mr. Taylor for bringing your instruments and your talent to our Not Back to School Fair, we hope to hear more of your music at future fairs!


Rio Grande Early Music

I am a builder / performer / teacher of recorders and other early wind instruments. I also do programs on the instruments themselves (I've guest lectured on this at Texas A &M University, where I bring about 50 different Renaissance and baroque instruments), music of different periods, and the physics of music.

I teach recorder and other early instruments privately and in groups. I can also teach an assortment of modern instruments (especially trumpet / cornet, on which I majored in college, and trombone), as well as coach ensembles of modern instruments or period ones, or mixes.

I can also do lecture / demos on instruments and historical issues tied to early performance, or lecture / hands-on on things like basic musical accoustics and physics.

Also, he will have available his book "Writers Guide to Everyday Life in Colonial America" is the result of years working in eighteenth-century living history museums. Written not just for writers, but as an introductory text for training museum staff and for social history courses, the book covers the basic concepts of American social history from 1607 through 1783. Other books cover each subject area in more detail, but none other provides these basic concepts which tie the details together.
