Fiddle Contest

Hear Audio Sample
A quasi-imitation of the three-part contest format for Old-Time Fiddlers' contests. The three contrasting pieces include "Boil dem Cabbage Down," "After the Ball" and "Devil's Dream." The rollicking fun is further enhanced by mixing in snippets of "Arkansas Traveler" and "Skip to my Lou." A pice students are sure to enjoy over and over.

Fiddle Fiesta

A foot-stomping piece with a Latin flavor. A delightful way to introduce stops into the life of the young string student. Also lets your hot-shot soloists have a chance to shine on their own. An all-time program hit!

Syncopation City A lively, contemporary-sounding piece that will help students develop a better sense of performing contemporary rhythms.

Medley of three delightful Chinese folk songs, "A Fishing Song," "Touching Flowers" and "I Have a Little Donkey." These contrasting, charming songs are representative of the fine folk music found among the Chinese people. They will add a unique international touch to any program.

Fast Food Frenzy
("A Silly Song for Pizza-cato Strings")
A short, intermediate-level string piece which features 99.99% pizzicato. Toughen those pizzicato fingers up with this tongue-in- cheek fun-filled piece. There will likely be some surprises along the way as well.
