Tull GlazenerMountain Dulcimer

Tull is well known in the dulcimer community as a former featured columnist for the Dulcimer Player News and prolif-ic arranger of music for dulcimer. With numerous tablature books and recordings to his name, it’s no surprise he’s a sought after instructor and performer as well. Tull grew up playing brass instruments, piano and organ.

22nd Annual Heartland Dulcimer Fest #HDCfest2016

Jim MillerUkulele, Autoharp, Music Theory

Jim has extensive experience in the traditional and folk music world, while also being a fantastic teacher and builder of hammered dulcimers. Jim is also a famed, in the dulcimer world at least, inventor of new folk instru-ments. While his inventions delight audiences, they may not always be the most practical. Jim currently teaches at East Tennessee State University in the Bluegrass, Old Time, and Country Music program. http://jimmillerdulci-mer.com/

Linda Thomas & Dan DeLanceyHammered Dulcimer & Guitar

A trained musician and music teacher, Linda Thomas first became interested in the hammered dulcimer when she saw it in a festival years ago. After a few quick lessons on the basics of set up and tuning, Linda took over her dulcimer education and is self-taught.

Carol WalkerMountain Dulcimer

Carol Walker, a former high school choral teacher, and classically trained pianist, harpist, and vocalist, bought her first dulcimer in 1999. A natural music teacher, Carol quickly became well known for her workshops in the folk music community. A recording artist, performer, and publisher of instructional books, Carol will be teaching a class featuring her knowledge of Manx music and has made two trips to the Isle of Man. http://www.musicladycarol.com

Heidi Hess-BynumFiddle, Bowed Psaltery

A classically trained cellist and violinist, Heidi grew up in Nashville, TN at a time when even classical ensembles were infused with fiddling. Her early exposure to Old Time and Bluegrass fiddling has helped to kindle her interest in these musical styles in recent years. Heidi holds a Bachelor’s in Music Performance/Teaching Music from Transylvania University with a Master’s in Training and Development from the Univer-sity of Saint Francis. She is a member of the Heartland Dulcimer Club.

Suzanne DennisChildren’s Classes

Suzanne Dennis discovered the dulcimer at a craft festival many years ago. It took her back to her childhood and reminded her of watching her mother play piano and wanting so badly to play music also. It was years later that she had the opportunity to learn the dulcimer which put her on the path to join the Heartland Dulcimer Club. Suzanne teaches elementary school and uses the dulcimer in her classroom. “Children immediately love the dulcimer. It seems ‘doable’ to them, and they can start playing immediately.”

Dan DeLancey grew up around Old Time and Bluegrass in a musical family. He learned to play guitar from listening to his grandmother’s records and developed an interest in flatpicking lead guitar upon his discovery of Dan Crary and Doc Watson. Dan has received numerous awards for his flatpicking.

Both Linda and Dan are sought after performers having recorded a dozen albums, published numerous instructional books, and are well-recognized instructors. http://www.lindadan.com
