November Workshop Schedule

Just received this schedule from Heidi Muller which outlines the workshops she and Bob Webb will be providing on Sunday afternoon, November 18th, 2012:

12:00 – 12:30     Introductions & Registration

12:30 – 2:30      Keep It Steady – Free Up Your Strumming (Beginner)/Bob Webb

Get in touch with your inner rhythm as you learn how to play your mountain dulcimer with confidence.  We’ll practice keeping the beat while strumming various patterns in straight and syncopated styles, and apply them to several new tunes.

12:30 – 2:30      Introduction to Fingerpicking (Advanced Beginner)/Heidi Muller

Learn basic 3-string fingerpicking techniques that work beautifully on slower tunes. We’ll learn how to recognize chord forms in the tablature and practice different patterns on several songs.

2:30 – 3:00      Break

3:00 – 5:00      Chords Up the Fretboard (Advanced Beginner)/Bob Webb

Finding chords in different positions is easier than you think. Learn the secret of repeating chord patterns that will free you to play chord progressions in several different keys, while still tuned to DAD.

3:00 – 5:00      Fiddle Tunes & Techniques (Intermediate)/Heidi Muller

Make your fiddle tunes dance! Build your left-hand playing skills with hammer-ons, pull-offs and slides that help you increase your speed and glide through quick, intricate patterns. We’ll practice on a variety of old-time tunes.

5:15 - 6:00       Acoustic Concert Set with Heidi and Bob (for paid workshop participants only)
