Dulcimer Club This time to meet is an opportunity for us to play tunes together. We play in D-A-A tuning one month and D-A-D tuning the next month. This is a charming school in far southwest North Carolina. It is as fun for me to teach there as it is for any of the students. They offer a wide variety of traditional and contemporary classes as well as many music classes. The classes that I currently have scheduled are July 26-31, 2009- Dulcimer Celebration - A week for adv. Beginner and up for both lap and hammered dulcimer. Featuring a staff of four with a wide range of experience, you will have an immense amount of fun and be challenged to move to new playing levels. August 17-23 2008 & February 8-14, 2009, Hammered Dulcimer Building - In this class we will be building a 15/15 Hammered dulcimer with a Mahogany top. It will be a performance quality instrument.
All of these take place at the Southwest Virginia 4-H Center in Abingdon, Virginia. This is a comfortable, modern retreat center. The conference center has air-conditioned rooms with private baths. We have a nice large workroom for the construction process. Meals are also all provided as well as frequent snacks. The classes I have scheduled for 2008 are March 29 - April 4, Dulcimer Discoveries -Adv. Beg Playing Skills LD or HD with Jeff Sebens - This class will help you advance your skills on either lap dulcimer or hammered dulcimer.
