Dulcimer Classes

A beginning Appalachian Dulcimer class will be offered for five weeks on Tuesdays, October 20 to November 17, 2015, from 1:00 to 2:30 pm at the Woodshed, 705 S. River St. in Enterprise. The instructor will be Heidi Muller, a longtime player and teacher. Cost is $95 and pre-registration is required. There are dulcimers available to rent for an additional $40. Some new instruments are also available for sale from the instructor.
 
One of America’s own folk instruments, the dulcimer has a sweet and delicate sound. It is one of the easiest folk instruments to learn, having just three or four strings. There is no need to have a musical background. Classes will cover basic right and left-hand techniques and students are typically able to play some simple songs by the end of the first class.
