Getting Started with Fiddling, A First Tune and Creating a String Band

Clinic Synopsis:

Watch or join in with Middle school string students learning their first fiddle tune and techniques; and how to create their own arrangement and "Informance" dialogue for a string band performance. Learn how fiddling will help you meet all nine National Standards of Music Education and many mainstream string curriculum issues while teaching your students to make intelligent musical decisions for improvising and arranging music with less time and effort than you may think.
