101 Foundations

This ONLINE ZOOM class is about learning the basics of how the chromatic dulcimer works. To go along with each day’s topics, we’ll walk through one cool arrangement making use of the same new ideas. I don’t want to cover too much too fast, and I want to make sure we make everything practical. Each session is 60 minutes long with question/answer after.

All sessions are recorded for review and catching up. These videos will be available for 30 days after the last session.
