Over 250 hours of class choices are offered over all.
Mornings provide 6 choices of 13-hour playing classes on skill levels for new Beginner through Advanced players.
Also offered are three specialized 13-hour playing courses one on Traditional Music and Playing Styles for Novice & up players, one on Ensemble Playing for Mountain Dulcimers for Novice & Intermediate players, and a Bowed Dulcimer course for those with some experience in this style.
Our Dulcimer Building course goes all day long Monday through Friday and requires no experience. (Non-playing spouses love it and bring home a beautiful new dulcimer!)
Afternoons offer a colorful variety of over 80 hours of 2-hour classes from which to choose. There are coaching sessions for newer players, classes aimed at different skill levels, and feature different repertoire and playing styles, and special events.
Evening jam session times provide introduction sessions on various instruments.
Each dulcimer playing participant has the opportunity to take classes with 6 to 12 of the countrys favorite dulcimer player-instructors!
