Mike Anderson, the Dulcimer Guy, will be teaching a free mountain dulcimer workshop starting at 1 p.m. on Saturday November 15, 2025, at the Dairy Building in Bishop Hill, IL. Mike Anderson is one of the premier Mountain Dulcimer Players in the country with six instrumental dulcimer recordings to his credit. From North Carolina to Louisiana to the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum, Mike makes traditional and modern music come alive on this mountain instrument. The mountain dulcimer workshop will include basics like strumming and reading tablature. It will also contain advanced skills like chording and decorating songs with “tricks.” Please bring your own dulcimer but there will be a couple of instruments to play. The main focus will be being able to play and to enhance the skills you already have. No reservations are necessary.
For more information, please email bhha@mymctc.net or call 309 927-3899. The Dairy Building is located at 410 North Erickson Street. This free workshop is funded by the Bishop Hill Heritage Association, Geneseo Foundation, Galesburg Community Foundation, and the Illinois Arts Council.
