Spring Dulcimer Week
Beginning Hammered Dulcimer
Ray Belanger

We'll approach this class starting with scales, nomenclature, learning our way around the dulcimer, exercises to strengthen both hands, hammering patterns, tuning, and discussing the importance of developing good practice and playing habits in order to play tunes beautifully.  We will learn simple tunes throughout the week which demonstrate and incorporate the techniques we have learned, all in a lighthearted and fun environment.
