Evart Pre-Fest Academy 2026

Description Description: Join Mark on the Wednesday before Evart’s FunFest (July 15th) for a small group workshop for hammered and mountain dulcimer at a fraction of the cost of one-on-one lessons. Settle in before the hustle and bustle of FunFest and enjoy focused time with your dulcimer in High School next to the fairgrounds. Mark has curated engaging topics that will cover improving technique, building repertoire, and enhancing hand-independence skills. These extended class sessions cater to multiple levels, with Mark differentiating instruction to suit each student’s needs. Whether you’re a novice or more advanced, there will be valuable takeaways for everyone. Seating is limited, so reserve your spot today! 2026 REGISTRATION IS OPEN!!! FAQs: What level are these classes for? Almost ALL Levels! I write the arrangements and teach so novice through advanced players have ways to adapt the to their levels. If something is too hard, I show an easier way. If something is too easy or plain, I show a harder but more interesting way. This course is not, however, the best one for rank beginners though.
