Schedules are posted and updated on the ABC website (http://AmericanBanjoCamp.com).

Ballard Chairperson, Thesis Committee Gary R. Boye Member, Thesis Committee David H. Wood Member, Thesis Committee William R. Schumann Director, Center for Appalachian Studies Max C. Poole, Ph.D. Dean, Cratis D. Williams School of Graduate Studies Copyright by Natalya Weinstein Miller 2018 All Rights Reserved Abstract JIM SHUMATE AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF BLUEGRASS FIDDLING Natalya Weinstein Miller, B.A., University of Massachusetts M.A., Appalachian State University Chairperson: Sandra L. Ballard Born and raised on Chestnut Mountain in Wilkes County, North Carolina, James “Jim” Shumate (1921-2013) was a pioneering bluegrass fiddler. His position at the inception of bluegrass places him as a significant yet understudied musician. Shumate was a stylistic co-creator of bluegrass fiddling, synthesizing a variety of existing styles into the developing genre during his time performing with some of the top names in bluegrass in the 1940s, including Bill Monroe in 1945 and Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs in 1948. While the "big bang" of bluegrass is considered to be in 1946, many elements of the bluegrass fiddle style were present in Bill Monroe's Blue Grass Boys prior to 1945. Jim Shumate’s innovative playing demonstrated characteristics of this emerging style, such as sliding double-stops (fingering notes on two strings at once) and syncopated, bluesy runs.

Coon Creek Girls. One of the most famous all-female string bands in country, the Coon Creek Girls were also among the first female groups to play their own instruments and focus on authentic mountain music, instead of sentimental and cowboy songs. The founding member of the long-lived group was Lily May Ledford. Born in Pilot, KY, she was the daughter of poor tenant farmers who frequently played string band music; consequently, Lily May learned how to play guitar and fiddle as a child. By the time she was an adolescent, she had formed the Red River Ramblers with her sister, Rose, and her brother, Cayen, and the group began playing local square dances. The Ramblers auditioned for talent scouts in 1935, and Lily May was chosen to appear on WLS Chicago's Barn Dance.

  • Banjo Camp North Class Descriptions
    Preliminary Schedule- Subject to Change Guide to “Skill Levels” Skill Levels: N: Novice ​ B: Beginner ​ AB: Advancing Beginner ​ I: Intermediate ​ A: Advanced ​ These abbreviations are often combined. N-B means Novice to Beginner; AB-I means Advancing Beginner to Intermediate; etc. Below is a description of each skill level. Please keep in mind that there’s some overlap between levels. During registration on Friday, you may want to attend "Find Your Level" where instructors advise campers, one-on-one, on their level. Novices (N) are absolute beginners, just starting out. They may have only recently acquired an instrument, ​​ ​ don’t know how to tune and have yet to learn any technique. Beginners (B) are able to tune and have learned a few basic techniques, a couple chords, maybe a ​​ ​ rudimentary picking method. They may know a few songs but still don’t pick out tunes on their own or have much experience playing with other people. Advancing Beginners (AB) have been practicing for some months, perhaps a year. They’re comfortable ​​ ​ tuning and have command of fundamental techniques. They’ve been learning to play simple melodies and can play along with a number of tunes and may even have started jamming. Intermediates (I) have likely been jamming on a regular basis. They’re familiar with a sizeable repertoire, ​​ ​ recognize chord changes and play solos routinely. They may not yet play up to speed and may still need to work on their timing and tone as well as their understanding of music theory.
