Two workshops:
Playing with a Capo
This workshop covers fiddle tunes that are not played in D outside of the dulcimer community.
Changing keys without a capo
Want to arrange a tune in two keys? How about starting in one key and modulating to another without using a capo?

An Afternoon with Anne Lough
March 1, 2018
Beautiful voice, beautiful playing, beautiful songs to share!
Anne drew repertoire for our workshop from three themes and use them for specific techniques – especially strumming, smoothing out the playing, finger-picking, finger placement and expression:  Folk Hymns from the Shaped Note Tradition, Stephen Foster Tunes, and Celtic Treasures
