Hand Separation Skills & Tunes for
Hammered Dulcimer
Mondays 11 am MDT Beginning July 12th, 2021.
Using exercises and patterns that can help us build up our accuracy, facility and ease in playing with BOTH hands, we'll gain comfort and understanding of our instrument. Then we'll apply these skills to interesting and beautiful arrangements of tunes which utilize what we are achieving.
A step-by-step over 6-weeks progressive approach yields the "stickiest" learning.
Screen to Screen Zoom Class, PDF handouts, .mp3 files for priming the pump and reinforcement, archive videos of classes each week.
Exercises for Hand Separation
We will work on the skills for the both hands and explore strategies for accuracy and endurance.
The Tunes
Each week we'll have tunes which make use of the skills we are gaining and sharpening.
Exercises & Tunes for Hand Independence and Interdependence
Our goal is having both hands have comfort, facility and accuracy to play and support each other as we play interesting tunes and arrangements.
Steve Eulberg has over 37 years of experience
discovering, playing and teaching hammered dulcimer. He earned a Master of Music Education from Boston University with a goal of teaching traditional music on traditional instruments.
The traditional way of learning is...
knee to knee or in our case, screen to screen.
Students will receive .mp3 sound files to listen before class to the tunes we'll be learning, together with the reinforcement of written tablature.
Finally, a video archive of each week's session is provided to students as well.
The Dulcimer Community is welcoming....
This course gives you the skills to enter into jam sessions of traditional music and hammer along with enthusiasm and joy!
