ABOUT THIS SCHOOL

[Last Updated Oct 4, 2022]

👋 My name is Dallas, and I'm based out of Pennsylvania, USA. I teach at music camps and workshops, a few students in person here, but most of what I do is online, and this is my website.


I started teaching accordion online way back in 2013. Back then I was building out a school bus to live in, playing musette gigs with my band, and figuring out how to teach great accordion lessons on video chat.


How and what I teach has continued to evolve, and this site is the latest evolution. In fact, I JUST changed the name of my site from RebelReed to the new name, RisingReed. (I was living in New Orleans in 2021, and had the sudden realization that I just could not put a music school on the map with the name Rebel in it!)

MORE ABOUT THIS SCHOOL

Over these almost 10 years of teaching online I have been part of the continual change and growth in tools and methods for teaching music online. For the first 6 years or so I only taught online one on one lessons. Then I started teaching supplemental Zoom group classes on Music Theory and Musicianship, and those were a huge hit. One offering expanded out to 4 levels of theory and musicianship, and I subsequently added more topics, like Creativity, a course all on the Bellows, and others.


The recent 2020/21 lockdown years really accelerated all things online and the learning technology has taken large leaps forward as well. The world now embraces online learning with the same importance as in person learning.


This newest iteration of my teaching platform is founded on the popular idea in online education that what is essential these days is to bring the online community together to share, support and learn together.


This journey has taken me about half a year, but I finally have my next iteration which is all based around a wonderful community platform, where I can put my info, documents, resources, notes, courses, sheet music, all of that, online and have it available immediately to the accordion community.
