Mark Alan Wade: The Long and Short of It: Dampers! (Saturday, Session 3, Level 4 - Upper-Intermediate, Hammered Dulcimer) 15HD082
The ability to play both long, sustained notes and short, crisp ones is essential to expressive music-making. In this class, you’ll learn how to make your dulcimer "speak" with hands-on techniques to coordinate your hands and feet. I’ll guide you through exercises designed to improve this coordination over time and demonstrate how to use your dampers effectively to add articulation and nuance to your playing. You've already paid for them—let’s put them to good use!
