Mapping the Hammered Dulcimer with Scales and Chords – All Levels

In this workshop, we will explore different ways of playing scales and chords using some common patterns inherent to the hammered dulcimer’s layout. Campers will learn how to better utilize redundant notes to make sticking patterns easier and faster to play. We will also explore chord pattern possibilities that are sometimes overlooked. If there is time, we will also explore some of the common modes and understand how knowing them can help find better sticking patterns.
