Summer Program

During the summer I have made 4 stringed mountain dulcimers with the children or when that is not possible I bring 6 of my own dulcimers and teach the children to play folk tunes they know, or learn to sing with me.I also teach the Orff/Kodaly style program to 3 year olds and older,do active and often outside sing a longs and circle games,continue piano lessons, band instrument lessons and enjoy the weather and the music.

Summer 2012 at South Suburban Montessori School, and we're making 4 new 4stringed mountain dulcimers. All ages were invited to sand, glue, assemble, and string these solid wood instruments made from Don Gardner Dulcimer kits. After 6 construction sessions this summer, they should be ready to be played by all 1st-3rd level students. All lower elementary students play original inventions, folk tunes, and classical duets with these dulcimers, as well as soprano recorders.
