Hammered dulcimer Class at John C. Campbell Folk School

During my week at the folk school, I was the assistant instructor for a hammered dulcimer class of 10 excited, motivated adults! Happily, the teacher was my good friend, Anne Lough, so we were able to catch up on news, visit and teach. What a neat class it was! Some of the students couldn't even read music, and several were intimidated by the 60 plus strings. By the end of the week, though, everyone could play a number of tunes. In fact, the class performed at "Morning Song" before a large crowd on the last day of classes! My favorite quote was from Dorothy:"I never thought I'd be able to really hear music!"
