This is the perfect time of year for you to practice the tunes from our Celtic section at Dulcimer Crossing. To help with this, I'm going to suggest just a few of my favorites. The first 3 are for both hammered and mountain dulcimer players.
- The popular fiddle tune "Off She Goes" was popular throughout the British Isles and North America. Some sources say that, in the days of sailing, it was a tradition for the fiddle player to sit on the deck of the ship playing ³Off She Goes² as the ship departed harbor.
This is actually a FREE LESSON, offered as a demonstration of how our lessons work so you can see if it suits your learning style. Try it - you'll have fun!
- Southwind is an Irish waltz played in the characteristic "OOM pah pah" style, taught by Steve for MD players and Linda for HD players. Hammered dulcimer players will enjoy using arpeggios and an answering left hand bounce in the right hand lead style. This tune is always a favorite at jam sessions.
- Rakes of Mallow is about the rakes who came to visit the town of Mallow, a town in County Cork, and became a well-known Irish drinking song. Apparently, when they weren't drinking the water from the Spa House for its curative properties, some of the young men were guzzling, in vast quantity, other substances that had exactly the opposite effect.
- Elk in the Meadow is an original tune that was written by Steve Eulberg in the Celtic tradition, while attending the Scottish Irish Highlands Festival in Estes Park, CO. This lesson is for mountain dulcimer players only.
DULCIMER CLUBS PAGE
We have added a Dulcimer CLUBS Page to our website (see the 3rd tab from the right at the top). Our vision is to provide as complete a list of dulcimer clubs as possible. But we need a LOT of help to fill in all the blanks with up-to-date information. If your club is not listed, or if the contact information is missing, just click here to fill out our information form with all the details we need to include yours on the map.
