Mountain Dulcimer, Upper-Intermediate and Advanced, Levels 4–5

Tuesdays: September 22, 29; October 6, 13, 20, 2026.

3:00–4:00 p.m. Central Time.

Five 60-minute sessions. $120 per course.

This is a standalone course.

Classical and early music can sound wonderful on the mountain dulcimer. We’ll learn a collection of finished arrangements drawn from medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, or familiar classical music.

The pieces will give us good reasons to work on clean fingering, phrasing, tone, dynamics, richer chords, flatpicking, fingerpicking, and moving melodies around the instrument. I’ll help you understand what makes each arrangement work and how to polish it into music you would be proud to perform.

Confident upper-intermediate players who are ready for a challenge are welcome. We’ll primarily use DAD tuning unless a particular piece gives us a compelling musical reason to do something else. Bring a capo. Complete tablature will be provided.

I’ll record each entire live session from beginning to end. You’ll receive all five complete session videos whether or not you attend live, so you can review the instruction, practice along again, or catch up on anything you miss.
