A Circlesinging Workshop

Introduction to Mountain Dulcimer
Also known as the Appalachian Dulcimer,
this 3- or 4-stringed instrument is a joy to play. Learn a few tunes in the
basic D-A-D tuning and begin to have fun with this most simple of American
instruments. Dulcimers needed - a few loaners available.
Circlesinging
Circlesinging is a vocal improvisation technique
in which a circle of singers takes melodic & rhythmic cues (parts)
from a skilled leader, together creating songs unique to the moment.
As the
leader
cues out old parts and introduces new ones, the song continues and changes
without stopping, at time supporting individual solos, always grounded in
attentive listening. Participants are welcome at any level of singing
experience.
