Mountain Dulcimer Workshop
📍 Creative Arts Guild
The Bandy Heritage Center, Creative Arts Guild, Prater’s Mill Foundation, DSC Derrell Roberts Library, DSC Appalachian Studies minor program, and Chattanooga Fiber Arts Guild are proud to partner with Emily Jennings to present a Mountain Dulcimer Workshop! The mountain dulcimer has been a quintessential instrument in soundscapes of Southern Appalachia for centuries. Yet, it is often overshadowed by more publicly familiar instruments like the fiddle and banjo. The mountain dulcimer workshop will provide students with the opportunity to participate in a unique Northwest Georgia instrumental and musical tradition by gaining hands-on experience learning to play classic tunes on a mountain dulcimer. This class is a morning session which will last two and a half hours total. Each student will be loaned a mountain dulcimer and shown how to play basic notes to classic songs. All necessary equipment and supplies will be provided by the instructor. This class is suitable for adults eighteen and up. No prior musical knowledge or experience is necessary.
