In 2015 University Press of Mississippi published Mississippi
Fiddle Tunes and Songs from the 1930s by Harry Bolick and Stephen
T. Austin to critical acclaim and commercial success. Roughly half
of Mississippi's rich, old-time fiddle tradition was documented in
that volume and Harry Bolick has spent the intervening years
working on this book, its sequel. Beginning with Tony Russell's
original mid-1970s fieldwork as a reference, and later working with
Russell, Bolick located and transcribed all of the Mississippi 78
rpm string band recordings. Some of the recording artists like the
Leake County Revelers, Hoyt Ming and His Pep Steppers, and Narmour
& Smith had been well known in the state. Others, like the
Collier Trio, were obscure. This collecting work was followed by
many field trips to Mississippi searching for and locating the
children and grandchildren of the musicians. Previously unheard
recordings and stories, unseen photographs and discoveries of
nearly unknown local fiddlers, such as Jabe Dillon, John Gatwood,
Claude Kennedy, and Homer Grice, followed. The results are now
available in this second, companion volume, Fiddle Tunes from
Mississippi: Commercial and Informal Recordings, 1920-2018. Two
hundred and seventy musical examples supplement the biographies and
photographs of the thirty-five artists documented here. Music comes
from commercial recordings and small pressings of 78 rpm, 45 rpm,
and LP records; collectors' field recordings; and the musicians'
own home tape and disc recordings. Taken together, these two
volumes represent a delightfully comprehensive survey of
Mississippi's fiddle tunes.
Strings teaching and learning has tended to emphasize performance
rather than the quality of experience for the children. School
instruction has become rigid and focused on technical accuracy.
Alternative teaching strategies must be pursued in order to provide
a challenging yet enjoyable experience of playing and learning the
bowed string instruments for students. Applying Flow Theory to
Strings Education in P-12 and Community Schools: Emerging Research
and Opportunities offers a comprehensive reference for string
teachers and learners of the instruments in P-12 and community
schools to understand the conceptual framework of flow theory-based
strings pedagogy. This book addresses critical issues to facilitate
children's musical flow and the elements required to construct the
pedagogy. Featuring a range of topics such as alternative
assessment, musical pedagogy, and teacher training, this book is
essential for music teachers, band directors, instructional
designers, academicians, educational professionals, administrators,
researchers, and students.
Anyone with a knowledge of basic chords and guitar scales can dig
right in and learn to play jazz right away. This well-paced,
comprehensive method covers everything, from basic to advanced
techniques. The clearly organized lessons add up to a step-by-step,
enjoyable method supplemented by full-length etudes or songs with
every new concept. Beginning concepts span from major scale and
basic triad theory all the way to extended chords and the modes.
For the intermediate player, this book can help with the ii-V-I
progression, creating solo lines, altered chord formulas, and
comping in such jazz feels such as Latin, swing, ballad, and even
funk. You will then master the art of playing harmony, melody,
rhythm, and bass parts of a song simultaneously, making your guitar
the ultimate jazz solo instrument. The book concludes with advanced
techniques for improvisation. Whether you are starting to learn
jazz guitar or are an advanced player looking to give your playing
more nuance, Jazz Guitar Method Complete is all you'll ever need.
