The 2008 Mountain Dulcimer Week conference will be held June 22-27. We invite mountain dulcimer players and those who would like to play the instrument to join our friendly, six-day dulcimer community at this lovely Smoky Mountains campus.

CLASSES:

• Approximately 250 hours of class choices are offered over all.
• Mornings provide 6 choices of 13-hour playing classes on skill levels for new Beginner through Advanced players.
• Also offered are two specialized 13-hour courses – one on Traditional Music for Novice & up players, and a Bowed Dulcimer course for those with some experience in that style.
• Our Dulcimer Building course goes all day long Monday through Friday and requires no experience. (Non-playing spouses love it and bring home a beautiful new dulcimer!)
• Afternoons offer a tasty variety of over 80 hours of 2-hour classes to choose from. They feature different styles of music, playing styles, coaching, and special events.
• Evening jam session times provide introduction sessions on various instruments.
• Each dulcimer playing participant has the opportunity to take classes with 6 to 12 of the country’s favorite dulcimer player-instructors!
