Easy Fiddle Tunes on the Dulcimer

Playing fiddle tunes on a dulcimer can be intimidating because of the speed or the number of notes in the tune. We will cover how to slow down and simplify a fiddle tune, so they are fun to play alone or along with other musicians. Dulcimer is an easy-to-learn instrument, and loaners may be available upon request.
