My first music blog

 Hello,

My name is Hailey Hollenbeck. I'm originally from Alaska, but did live in Alabama for about 8 years. I have a 19 month old son who is my best friend and loves helping me with chores and school work. I have a degree in dental assisting but decided to change careers to dental hygiene. I decided to take this course in hopes of taking a break from science classes and doing something more fun! I used to play violin when I was a 4th grader for the middle school orchestra.

    This class should be a fun break. Thank goodness for YouTube. We can learn pretty much anything on YouTube these days, and the quality of what we learn can be quite good.

    I played the violin when I was very young, but I never stuck with it. I may still be able to play "Hot Cross Buns" if I was reminded which strings to use, but no promises! I'm taking this class to fulfill my last general requirement to finish my degree, but it sure is a welcome change from 400 level accounting courses.

Innovations and Evolutions

 The History and Evolution of the Violin          The violin was actually created in Italy by two Italian men named  Andre Amati from Cremona and Gasparo di Bertolotti from Salon. The violin dates back to 1565. There was dispute of who actually invented the violin but credit has been given to Amati.      For centuries, violins were a main instrument in the music industry and so they became mass produced. Famous composers include Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven during the classical period. They are a huge influence in even orchestras  today.      A lot of the violin had alterations done over time and for many reasons. For ergonomics, the bow was customized to having an arch backwards and a longer length and lighter weight for more flow and a way to to play faster.
