*CANCELED* Traditional Dulcimer Tunings and Playings
Date: Sunday, Feb 27 - Friday, Mar 4, 2022
Subject: Music
Instructor: Phyllis Gaskins, Jim Gaskins
Share:

Explore tunings and playing styles used before the dulcimer revival of the late 1960s. Older instruments were tuned for playing in a single mode (scale) and noter playing styles were prevalent among former generations. Try both with your dulcimer. Primary emphasis will be given to the old Galax style, which can be sampled on one of the instructor's instruments. We'll also explore strumming with the turkey quill and rhythmic strumming using the think pick. Students with various levels of dulcimer experience are welcome.

Tuition: $620.00
