Private lessons offer the best of
everything: personalized instruction tailored to the student's needs, with time
in between (one week preferred) to practice and master concepts and music.
They include more than just right notes; I observe playing habits to ensure
healthy hammering and picking, which also ensure resonant sound. (Don't live near Denver?
Consider B&B lessons.)
I offer lesson options for everyone:
- Weekly private lessons for those of you living in Colorado, or even as far
as Cheyenne, WY. Weekly lessons are 45 minutes, and I recommend at least
four to start. Continuous weekly study is
the most effective way to master your chosen instrument.
- Loaner lessons, available
only to interested parties living nearby.
- For those living at a distance, visiting the area, or short on time due to
work or family commitments, consider the occasional 90-minute lesson.
(If you're coming from out of town, bring your hammers and take the lesson
on one of my dulcimers. I have adjustable stands, too.)
- While I'm in your area to teach a workshop
to your local club (always in combination with a concert), you can have a private lesson in your locale.
- "B&B" lessons; scroll down a little more for a look.
to schedule convenient lesson dates and times.
B&B Lessons
If you feel your playing is
boring—the same old tunes sounding the same old way—you are
probably where I was before I took the plunge in "B&B
lessons." Lucille will show you how to put life into those jigs and reels
[or anything else! —Ed.] by giving them "that sound." Where else can you find an
opportunity to be the sole student of a great teacher, player and cook for five
days? It will have a profound effect on you as a person as well as a
player. —Chuck Spaulding, Mill
Creek, WA
Don't live near Denver but want
some concentrated instruction to jump-start your playing, at whatever level, on
either dulcimer or autoharp? Five days' worth of "bed-and-breakfast
lessons" (well, it's more like lunch-and-dinner; keep reading) could be
just the ticket! It works like this: You get two lessons (at least) and practice
time each day, plus some sight-seeing in the area in addition to enjoying a
leisurely meals at home—whatever it takes to have fun! What's covered?
Whatever you want!
The bed-and-breakfast part is at a
nearby hotel (I currently lack adequate space to supply housing), but lunch and
dinner are here, with a couple times eating out during sight-seeing trips. I'm
also cook-in-residence—y'ain't lived 'til you've had
my pizza (you're my best friend if you like anchovies or are at least willing to try
them)—and if you like, you're welcome to prepare one of your
favorite recipes. Additionally, we can reverse all of the above and I
can come to your locale. (In that case, I'll bring the pizza dough and cilantro pesto!)
