Beginning Mountain Dulcimer

Keep your mind active with an easy-to-learn and fun instrument at Beginning Mountain Dulcimer on Saturdays, Oct. 4 through Nov. 1 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. in The Studio.

Instructor Lou Ann Koebel will lead students through basic chords and strum patterns that will give them the ability to play rounds, fiddle tunes and much more! Playing the dulcimer requires only a love of music and a desire to create beautiful sound – it is a simple instrument that requires little musical knowledge.

$225/person* (Ages 12+; 12- to 15-year-olds must be accompanied by a registered adult.) Register at https://allerton.illinois.edu/events/mountain-dulcimer/. Registration will close Oct. 1 or when capacity is reached. All sales are final.

*Students should bring their own dulcimer. Dulcimers are available to rent by emailing the instructor at a29lYmVsIHwgaWxsaW5vaXMgISBlZHU=.
