Dulcimer Workshops at Chimney Rock

If you're the kind of person who's always looking to learn something new, we've got a great event for you! Our Dulcimer Workshops are back on March 24. Impress your family and friends with your newfound skills on the mountain or hammered dulcimer, or both.

Ken Schoewe of Mountain Music School will lead the morning session on the mountain dulcimer, "the only American instrument." Ken will show guests traditional strumming and flat picking techniques as well as share the lore and tradition of the mountain dulcimer. The morning workshop takes place from 10am to noon.

Our very own featured entertainer, John Mason, will be teaching the hammered dulcimer during the afternoon session. Not only will you learn to play the hammered dulcimer, but you'll also hear about its history and tradition. The afternoon workshop is from 1 - 3pm.

Workshops are offered individually or in combination. During the lunch break, you'll have a chance to chat with the instructors. Bring your own lunch or order a Hiker's Lunch from us when you make your reservation.
This is a popular event and space is limited, so call 800-277-9611 to reserve your spot today.
