As a result of this program, Headwaters Fiddle Camp participants will experience increased knowledge and awareness of the history and traditions of music of the northwoods interactive games, small group projects and presentations. Participants will experience an improvement in their confidence and ability to perform with a group through large group and small group rehearsal and performance and through individual lessons and coaching. In addition to a post survey with more in-depth questions, our guiding questions during the program will be, “How was the music of the region shaped by the lumber industry? What kinds of music did the lumberjacks bring? Why was it so important to them? What parallels can we draw with today?”
As a result of this program, Headwaters Fiddle Camp participants reported an increase in their skill level on their chosen string instrument, their comfort level performing for others, and their knowledge of historically significant musical instruments. This was achieved through daily small and large group work, individual lessons, enrichment activities related to local lumber camp and fiddle history.
