1:00PM-3:00PM The first of a two-part introductory workshop will focus on the basics of the Appalachian dulcimer, including standard tunings and strums. We will begin with the drone or slur style of playing, and use this technique to learn a couple of old time songs. Music will be taught by ear in combination with tab. The second workshop will move into more advanced techniques including chording and fingerpicking. We will also explore alternate tunings and methods for adapting music for the dulcimer and jamming.
