Learn how to play the violin as a fiddle

Bad Bob Rohan; famous Texan Fiddler

               

Last year, I took Beginning Orchestra and played the violin. I liked the instrument, and the music we played, but I wanted to use it not only as a violin, but a fiddle. Same instrument, different sound. I knew how to play classical, but i wanted to see the otherside to that instrument. Country music with a fiddle sounds really fun to play, hard and fast, but fun. I'm not saying i want to play it like that forever, just like a song or two.
