Playing Different Styles

If you are learning to play classical violin, you are developing the skills and technique necessary to play any style of music! Some of the greatest jazz violinists were classical violinists first like Eddie South, Joe Venuti, and Stephane Grappelli. The same can be said for bluegrass fiddle and even Texas breakdown. Listen to a recording of Richard Greene playing Orange Blossom Special! You might enjoy Youtube recordings of any of these artists. Scottish and Irish fiddle tunes are also fun to listen to and play. I teach a variety of these along with classical. Have fun listening to some of these styles and enjoy your playing!
