DULCIMER WORKSHOP


We will be exploring the 'alternate' way of playing the mountain dulcimer. Yes you can strum and play chords the traditional way.

But there are so many great notes in those individual strings!  Come learn how to find them!



We will also have a time slot for basic beginners, hands on road map of the instrument.


See Dulcimer Registration page to register.
