Event Description
Come join us for a two-day (July 13 and 14) enrichment workshop with Suzuki teacher and fiddler Crystal Plohman Wiegman to learn how to incorporate various fiddle styles and repertoire into your Suzuki teaching. Using the carefully sequenced and correlated “Fiddle and Song” curriculum, and additional material, this hands on exploration will include tips and techniques to play each style authentically (Irish, bluegrass, etc.). The course will study how to use tunes to re-enforce teaching points throughout Suzuki books 1-4 and support technical and musical goals while having fun. Introduction to controlled improvisation, back-up techniques and chords and variation will be covered, as well as presenting ideas for supporting skills and creativity for multi-level group class and performances. Additionally, teacher trainees will have the opportunity to observe these teaching techniques in action during fiddle classes for Suzuki students at the institute from July 15-19.
