The mountain dulcimer is one of the easiest and most fun instruments to play. This course is for students not yet playing the mountain dulcimer. We will start from the beginning and learn how to hold, tune, and play the instrument including strumming and fingering. No experience in music or ability to read music is necessary. When you complete this course, you will be playing fun tunes along with chords. You will receive and practice tablature (easy note-reading) that we will practice and play. Waltzes, old-time tunes, hymns, and singing songs are just some of the fun music that will be covered.

Some loaner mountain dulcimers are available. Please contact the Common Ground office to reserve a loaner instrument. commonground@commongroundonthehill.org
