Interactive Workshop
(In-person or Virtual) 

Diana visits programs both in-person and virtually to offer a fun, empowering experience introducing students new musical genres and ideas. Clinics are customized for students’ ability level and interests, and most often include learning a tune by ear, improvisation activities, and interactive Q&A. Students will leave clinics with an appreciation for their own musical talents and tastes, and equipped with new skills to discover their own musical path. 
This package could culminate with a combined concert performance or “virtual orchestra performance” video.

Clinic topics include:    

  • Comparing Genres and Styles
  • Learn a Fiddle Tune
  • Intro to Improvisation   
  • Amplification and Live Sound   
  • Finding Your Musical Path    
  • The Business of Music

"DIVING IN" 
A Video Curriculum For String Players 
(Pre-recorded + live) 

This package includes a series of pre-recorded videos that offer students the opportunity to learn a tune by ear, try improvisation, and explore new musical concepts from their own homes or classrooms. The video curriculum includes 3 “tracks” to accommodate varying ability levels from beginner to advanced, and each track teaches modified parts of the same tune so that all parts can be performed together in a combined group format. Each track includes 9 professionally-recorded videos that can be viewed across any timeframe. This package includes a suggested schedule/timeline, a one-on-one preparatory consultation, and one live check-in with Diana.   

*Optional additions include more periodic live check-ins, and a culminating “virtual orchestra performance” video. (See below for more details.)
