In this 2-day workshop, join musician Sarah Kate Morgan and learn the basics of playing the Mountain Dulcimer. The mountain dulcimer is a great first instrument for folks who are interested in playing traditional Appalachian music! In this workshop you will start from scratch; no prior music experience needed. You can expect to leave this class with all the fundamental skills you'll need to get started on your dulcimer journey. We'll cover holding, strumming, fretting, tuning, the dulcimer as well as lots of traditional music from the Southern Appalachian Mountains as well as a few folk songs from around the world.
