:: ''This article is about the violinist. For other people named Mary Simpson, see Mary Simpson (disambiguation).'' Mary Ellen Simpson is an American professional violinist, mostly noted for her work with Yanni, Gary Ruley and Mule Train and Walker's Run. She is a founding member of The Whiskey Rebellion band. ==Biography== Simpson's father, a documented descendant of Pocahontas, plays banjo and her Chinese mother is a classically trained pianist. She is the sister of noted violinist Ann Marie Calhoun and her brothers play guitar. She began learning to play violin at the age of five. She says she grew up listening to her sister play. Like her sister she played bluegrass music in her family band. According to Simpson, "her classical background gives her a wider variety of tones and better control of her sound than she would have had she only studied bluegrass."〔"(On the Frontier of Bluegrass Stands the Whiskey Rebellion )" Will's Corner, Magazine 33, Vol. 4; January 2010.〕 Mary attended Lake Braddock Secondary School in Burke, Virginia. She has a double major〔(Mary Simpson ) official website〕 in music and economics from the University of Virginia. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mary Simpson (violinist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
