Dulcimer Lessons

 Lee Cagle performs traditional American/Celtic folk music on mountain dulcimer. Her music, combined with stories of old, has entertained audiences throughout the southeast since 1988. Lee is president of the Memphis Dulcimer Gathering, Inc., and is a multi-instrumentalist, singer and storyteller. New dulcimer players experience the fun of learning to play the mountain dulcimer. This simple instrument is a perfect starting place for those with no musical experience, yet it can offer interest and challenge for the experienced musician. 

These workshops will provide the basic techniques needed to build a solid foundation for playing a variety of songs and musical genres. Participants will learn rhythm, strumming techniques, origins of the instrument and basic music theory. All materials and handouts will be provided. A few dulcimers are available for use during class for those who do not own an instrument.
