Orchestra students learn to play 10 fiddle tunes, including accurate rhythm and notes. Orchestra students perform in a barn dance. Orchestra students demonstrate how to slide a note, or double stop (two notes/strings at once) to create the fiddle style. Orchestra students demonstrate using the rhythm of the bow, accenting consistently on beats 2 and 4. Orchestra students improvise using 1-8 notes, alternate with accompanying the next soloist, and create an original composition. Orchestra students will perform 10 fiddle tunes for a barn dance, keeping together in time and in tune with the rest of the orchestra. Orchestra students will perform solos on Listen to the Mockingbird after passing an audition. Students create their own composition using pencil and staff paper, then on a computer using Finale Notepad notation software. Students demonstrate improvisation creating rhythm with one note, then increase incrementally to eight notes.
