Beginning Mountain Dulcimer

This instrument is widely used in the American old-time music tradition. Its origins are traced back to the early 1800's from the Scots-Irish in the southern Appalachian Mountains. In this class you will learn to play tunes in the DAD tuning. While some music theory will be covered, you don't need any previous musical experience to be successful. Loaner instruments are available during class time. Required text: First Lessons Dulcimer by Joyce Ochs, available at Apple Mountain Music or eBook online at www.melbay.com or at Apple Mountain Music.
