Music Lesson FAQs:


What form of written media is used for lessons?
   Tablature is the preferred format, notation for fiddle.

Can lessons be paid for by the week?
    No. Lessons are paid for a month in advance.

Will Roscoe do occasional single lessons?
    Absolutely. Half-hour rate is 20.00, and hourly rate is 35.00 for one-off meetings.

What is a lesson experience like?
    You will be asked what you like to listen to, what you hope to be able to learn to play, what you are presently listening to, and we'll try our best to share music with you with that in mind. You will be assigned ONE "target" exercise at the beginning of each lesson month, designed to be a month's worth of work. The other weeks will be review, and theory lessons, along with "how did they do it?", where we look at a specifically requested phrase, solo, chord sequence. Maybe Monroe-style licks on mando, maybe Eddie Van Halen tapping. Final lesson of the teaching month is "jam lesson", where we try to use as much of the 30 minutes applying what we learned...playing real, interactive music together.

What do I bring?
   Pick, payment, instrument, and mp3 player/USB thumb drive. Your lessons are recorded for you in MP3 format, and you take the recordings home immediately as you leave the lesson. IPOD: We do not supply connector cords for various IPOD devices, and are not setup to go through ITunes...please note that lessons are only 30 minutes unless otherwise arranged, so time and quick transfer are of the essence.

Can I hire Roscoe to do custom tablature work/transcribing without retaining him for lessons?
Yes. Transcription rates start at $10.00 per page for custom work, $35.00 per hour for more intricate work.



Performance FAQs:


Can I hire Roscoe to do weddings, get-togethers or other functions that are not necessarily "concerts"?
   Yes. Please send your info and specific plans to booking@roscoemorgan.com.


How do I schedule Roscoe for a solo church performance?
   Contact us at booking@roscoemorgan.com.

What is the fee for church solo performances?
    Churches are expected to compensate via "love offering" or honorarium + travel expenses if applicable.
    There is no set "fee" for church work, as we believe that is contradictory to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

What is the fee for Bluegrass performances?
  Bluegrass band rates begin at $600.00 for local, one day (50 mile radius) work, $800.00 if we are providing sound equipment.

Can I hire Roscoe to assist with my recording session and/or CD?
  Certainly.

Can I record Roscoe's songs?
  Again, certainly! We require that you credit the writer properly on your project (Roscoe Morgan Music BMI). If you 
    are recording for profit, royalties per BMI guidelines are required at the per CD rate, pre-release. This is      
    standard procedure for the entire business of music at present.
