This intermediate workshop focuses on strumming and picking Irish-style songs on the mountain dulcimer. In Irish music, songs are lyric-based pieces at medium or slower tempos, distinct from dance tunes like reels or jigs. We’ll work on right-hand technique, basic ornaments, and expressive approaches that suit this repertoire, along with practical ways to play the same song a little differently each time. You’ll gain clearer ideas about tone, flow, and musical feel.
