				Steve Eulberg - Hammered & Mountain Dulcimer
	Developing Moving Lines the Hammered Dulcimer (Int. Adv.) As we develop our skills in playing with hand separation and hand independence, it is important to have some models of how we can apply this skill to specific tunes. Using familiar tunes like The Ash Grove and Ode to Joy, as well as examples of my compositions, Another Winter’s Day (bass line) and Sound of a Woman (interior) we will practice and strategize about how we can use these ideas in the other tunes we wish to play.
		Unlocking Portable Chord Shapes on the Hammered Dulcimer (Beginner / Intermediate) Unlocking Portable Chord Shapes enabled me to better understand and play my hammered dulcimer in all kinds of settings. We’ll use these shapes to map out our dulcimers and openup the exciting possibilities that are waiting for us to discover and use them in the music we play.
	Jazz Possibilities in the Mountain Dulcimer (Intermediate) There are some amazing jazz possibilities waiting for us on our diatonic fretboards tuned in a familiar way to DAd tuning! Major 7 and minor 7 chords and 6th chords are just 3 of the possibilities that can open up new dimensions in our playing out familiar tunes, as well as tackling some that we might have shied away from before. Come join me on this adventure of discovery!
