This presentation starts with the style of fiddling the immigrants brought with them to America. Students will explore how the immigrants’ music became the Old Timey (Civil War era) fiddling and how the influence of Blues through African music influenced fiddling and all styles of American music. Next students will become familiar with Bill Monroe’s Bluegrass, the fiddling contest style of Texas, the Cajun music of Louisiana, Western Swing created by Bob Wills (who grew up in Tulsa), and Gypsy Jazz. Shelby will explain how mathematics and physics are connected to the violin and music, and students studying strings will be taught a fiddle tune.
