Outreach
Thanks for a remarkable and musical performance. Our students enjoyed the dancing and echo clapping. The students were glad to be invited up to participate in the performance. This was an enjoyable concert/music lesson because the students where able to participate and perform. Just marvelous! hope you can return again.

Lawler & Fadoul are dedicated, engaging and creative educators. Through our many years performing for children and family audiences, we have developed a highly successful repertoire of interactive performances that captivate children and build their music knowledge at the same time. Lawler & Fadoul are an In-School Ensemble for the National Symphony Orchestra. Our programming for young people is based on our performance repertoire, and always includes individual instrument demonstrations and time for questions.
Programs currently offered are:
LET’S DANCE! a fun, hands-on exploration of dance rhythms (waltz, menuet, tango). Students get to dance and create rhythms as well as listen. Available in two age-appropriate versions (k-2 and 3-6), and designed for up to three classrooms at a time. Running time 35-45 minutes.
PRELUDE, FUGUE, FUN: an interactive adventure in music for many voices (polyphony). Starting from kids’ real-world experience of polyphony, the din of the lunchroom, we explore the ways composers make sense out of sonic confusion. Available in two age-appropriate versions (k-2 and 3-6), and designed for up to three classrooms at a time. Running time 35-45 minutes.
- Available beginning fall 2011
FREE-FOR-ALL CONCERTS: an interactive concert for grown-ups, the Free-for-All encourages listeners to take in the music in any way they like…lying down on the floor, getting up and dancing, wandering around the marimba, or even looking over the musicians’ shoulders. Repertoire to be adapted from our current programming.
COMMUNITY CONCERTS: our natural, accessible stage presence and interesting repertoire combine with our unique (and mobile) instrumentation for the ideal community outreach programs, even in venues with no piano. We are happy to work with you to perform in local retirement homes, community centers, board rooms, hospitals…you name it.
CLASSES & COACHINGS: Lawler & Fadoul can offer a variety of classes and coachings to suit the needs of schools and ensembles, including master classes and technique building sessions, chamber music coaching, lecture/demonstrations on memorization and practice techniques, and private lessons. Please contact us directly so we can meet your community’s needs.
