We are Fiddle Frenzy!
The Blair Academy fiddling program offers a holistic approach in teaching children to play, using the Suzuki philosophy to build solid technique and tone, mixed with the “Fiddle and Song” curriculum to teach traditional fiddle music. The program incorporates ear training, singing, harmonies, improvisation, and arranging in introductory classical and historical folk styles including old-time, bluegrass, Irish, Scottish, Texas swing, and other world styles.
Beginning students have 30-minute weekly private lessons and small group experience. Second-year students and higher have 30-, 45-, or 60-minute lessons and participate in the Fiddle Frenzy performance group, which gives students the opportunity to have fun playing, performing, and learning with peers. Program recitals are also held at the middle and the end of each semester. This high-demand program, now in its 30th year at the Blair School of Music, is directed by Senior Artist Teacher Crystal Plohman Wiegman and Adjunct Artist Teacher Meghan Perdue. |
