LLMT 439 - Playing Appalachian Mountain Dulcimer

Learn how to expand single note melodies into rich full musical arrangements as you explore modes, different fingering techniques and different styles that players use to achieve a variety of sounds on the Appalachian Mountain Dulcimer. Taught by the author of the best-selling Dulcimer Chord Encyclopedia (book is included with the class fee), you'll also explore the history of this gorgeous instrument and it's European cousins. Bring a three ring binder with plastic sleeves so you can create your own personal gig book as we progress. New instrumental song arrangements will be passed out each week.
