********************************************
The Hills of Kentucky Dulcimer Club provides beginner level instruction. Each series of classes consists of six one-hour lessons that prepare each student to confidently play in group sessions and public performances.
CLASS FOCUS is very basic. Members who enroll in classes will begin 6 weeks of basic chording and instruction plus another 6 weeks of intermediate instruction. Club members mentor students and are encouraged to stay after classes and “play chords” with the Hills’ of Kentucky Dulcimers’ music jam. The more you play, the sooner you will feel comfortable jamming and performing with our club.
This also includes - learning the parts of the dulcimer, learning to read tab and understand music notation and rhythm, developing a solid strum and steady beat. Basic chords, beginning to play chord-melody style, learning the bum-ditty strum pattern, and learning to accompany a tune with chords and much more.
Private Instruction:
Available for a fee. Members who provide instruction outside of HOKD meetings. Please feel free to contact them anytime.
