"PLAY IT AND TAKE IT WORKSHOP" - From the Adirondack Mountains to Florida's Sun Coast, we have taught hundreds of people to play the mountain dulcimer. Our moniker, "TLC in the Key of D" is well known at all the festivals we attend and the workshops we hold. Sometimes we have been known to provide "Dulcimer Day Care" to discouraged musicians. If you can brush crumbs from the table, you can play the mountain dulcimer. It really is that easy!
SCHOOL, LIBRARY, AND SUMMER PROGRAMS - Children's programs are presented as hands on approach. Each child is given a dulcimer to try. Within a few minutes they are playing fearlessly and singing at the top of their lungs. Kids of all ages love the mountain dulcimer. We are also introducing Contra dance for kids. Children will learn the basic steps of this 300 year old dance tradition. Our school program power point is available upon request.
FAMILY GATHERINGS - As ordained ministers we have officiated at many weddings, baptisms, funerals, and other rites of passage. We provide music for weddings, family reunions, church services (as well as doing pulpit supply), graduation parties, art shows, retirement parties, and any event where gentle background music is desired.
WELSH SOCIETY OF THE SUNCOAST - In honor of our Welsh heritage, we continue to learn the history and tunes of the country of Wales. In 2006, we performed at the Special Events building at the Florida State Fair, and we've been there ever since.
FEES YOU CAN AFFORD - We know every organization has a budget. We are happy to work with you so everyone feels comfortable with the service they receive for their budget dollar.
