In this workshop, we'll learn 4 fiddle tunes I wrote on a dulcimette built by Ron Ewing (though we will use a standard dulcimer). These jigs and reels are played in melody-drone style, giving practice in how to use all fingers to play a complex melody. We'll be using the tunings DAA, EAA, and EAG, which I will explain more in the class. You can hear the songs in this video: https://youtu.be/h9uyPedlmak?si=LFsA9tEmoiz3TM1e. Recording will be emailed following the class.
