Hi Dulcimering Friend, We are very glad to see so many of you practicing in 2012. And to keep things interesting, Steve and I have been hard at work adding new lessons.
New Lessons Since New Year's Eve ...
I am very proud to introduce our new series, Celtic Music for Dulcimers. Steve began by preparing several lessons for the mountain dulcimer players. The topics are quite intriguing: Reels, Jig Strums, Slip Jigs, Hornpipes - and soon coming, Strathspeys. What's on earth is that? Hmmm ... I have NO idea! I'll have to watch that lesson along with you.  Check out all the recent additions to our lesson list:
1/16/12: America the Beautiful for Hammered Dulcimer 1/13/12: Celtic Music for Dulcimers: Lessons 1-6 for Mountain Dulcimers
1/1/12: String-Side UP for Mountain Dulcimer, Lessons 18 - 24
In Production at Dulcimer Crossing ...
Lessons planned for the immediate future include:
 Another Challenge Overcome ...Many of our students like to set their iPads on the music stand, and practice along with our lessons. As you know, it was a challenge making everything "iHappy." But, that problem exists no more. The videos and the animations now all play on iPad, and by the end of the month all the back-up tracks will also play on iPad and iPhone. Comments are Welcomed ... I have virtually recoded every single page on the website (over 1,000 webpages) to make Dulcimer Crossing "iHappy," and now and then I discover something missing, or an error in the new coding. Always feel free to send a quick email to Steve or myself if you discover something that needs to be corrected. Happy dulcimering, Linda Ratcliff |
