You may blend, mix and match. I teach individual workshops or week long events. I also do day long, continuous, intense workshops by skill level-Beginner, Novice, Intermediate and Advanced. Beginner Level-Basic strum, tune and mnemonics to help students learn the rudiments of timing painlessly. Just beyond Beginners Level.
Participants already know how to tune and play a couple of songs.
In Novice Level students learn to play chords, some more songs and start on some fiddle tunes. Sing along songs are included too. Students learn how to arrange music. Also are exposed to Ensemble work and how to present a successful program. All levels include some history and the culture of the dulcimer and the songs that are taught.
