By the end of this class, you’ll have the foundational skills you need to continue teaching yourself to play the mountain dulcimer. You’ll learn how to tune (and why there are different tunings), name the notes you are playing, and read tablature. We’ll explore ways to hold the dulcimer comfortably, use a pick, cleanly fret the strings, and even play simple chords. This is the class I wish I had as a self-taught player.This class will be recorded and available for students to view for one month after the festival.
