Mountain Dulcimer Immersive Workshop Online

Participants in this immersive program will break into two groups based on skill level: Basic II and Intermediate. Basic II is for those with some experience, who should be able to tune their dulcimer and play a few songs. The tuning will be in D-A-D. It can also be thought of as just beyond beginners. Intermediate is for the player who is ready to explore different tunings (tho we may be in D-A-D for most of it) and strumming techniques, and has some experience with chording and making harmonies on one string or more. Each group will have three master sessions, led by each of the instructors. The day will close out with a short concert showcasing the instructors individually for all participants to view. There will be a virtual Break Room available before each session where students can enjoy some casual conversation. The sessions will be taught via Zoom and handouts of the material taught will be available electronically in advance.
