Description
This instrument, from the Appalachian Mountains, was widely used in the American old-time music tradition by the Scots-Irish emigrants, and has now evolved to include just about any musical style. The dulcimer is one of the easiest instruments to start playing! In this three-session, hands-on class, you will learn to play songs in both the traditional and contemporary style. You don’t need any previous musical experience. Instruments will be available during classes. If you have a dulcimer, please bring it with you! Limited enrollment.
After a lifetime of playing other musical instruments and styles, Irma Reeder came to the mountain dulcimer in 2005, and was instantly enchanted. She enjoys teaching voice, guitar, harp, bodhran (Irish frame drum), as well as mountain dulcimer, and directs the Oasis Show Tunes chorus.
