Nonsuch Dulcimer Club Online Workshops

Heidi is excited to join the Nonsuch Dulcimer Club in Malvern, England this October! These online workshops will introduce her to the club, plus they are open to anyone worldwide to take as a student.

Saturday 28th March with Heidi Muller on Mountain Dulcimer

Workshop 3: 15:00 – 17:00 GMT (8-10am PDT) – Fiddle Tunes with Easy Chords – (Advanced beginner to intermediate), Cost £20.

Come learn several popular jam tunes in chord-melody style in the key of D. We’ll see how easy backup chords fill out the sound and provide harmony by adding another finger to the fretboard, and in one case, branching out into barre chords. Learn how to trade off fingers on the melody as we explore smooth chord fingerings. Tunes will include “Hangman’s Reel,” “Mississippi Sawyer,” and more.

17:00 – 17:30 GMT Break

Workshop 4: 17:30 – 19:30 GMT (10.30-12.30 PDT) – Build speed and expression with hammers, pull offs and slides(Intermediate and above), Cost £20.

Let’s explore how to play fiddle tunes faster and make our slower tunes flow more gracefully with hammer-ons, pull-offs, and slides. We’ll look at proper timing and form and see how they can help us play more smoothly on “Over the Waterfall,“ “Whiskey Before Breakfast,” “The Ash Grove,” and “Maiden Lane.”

Heidi will do a joint concert with Carmen Amrein on Sunday 29th March.
