Since 2005, I have conducted The Sandbridge Hammered Dulcimer Retreats. For the 35+ years of teaching privately and at countless festivals and workshops, my intention at every workshop & lesson, especially at Sandbridge is to give students way more than can be absorbed in a week. At Sandbridge, we prepared a comprehensive summary video recording of each tune that was covered in the workshop – available only for workshop participants.
I am pleased to now make many of these recordings available for everyone. Many of the tunes included here can be found in The Sandbridge Dance Tune Collection and The Sandbridge Waltz and Slow Air Collection. However, I have often updated and expanded upon what was printed in those collections. |

“The Foundational Skills units are truly amazing!!! An invaluable addition to the learning process of lessons and workshops. And the bonus is you can be asked to repeat the same concept, if it wasn't clear the first time indefinitely. Thank you Ken!” – SG, Maryland
“No sleep for me tonight! Just purchased the entire set of Foundational Skills modules. What a goldmine of information!” – ML, North Carolina “I'm starting with Johnny Cope - Using Transcribe when playing with Ken in his play-through.... I'm already making progress. It is just like having a private lesson at my speed.” NG, Arizona “So exciting. I just ordered the foundation videos to work on at my leisure. A lot less stressful than trying to keep up at a workshop!” YP, Massachusetts |
