MUSIC MUSIC MUSIC Students in the Kindermusik curriculum at The Burch School of Music are learning about Appalachian music and culture by playing folk songs on a dulcimer. Each child decorates his own instrument and then learns to play tunes on it. They also hear stories, learn dances, and explore other instruments, including playing spoons and washboard. Students pictured are: above photo: (dulcimer 1) Front Row: Parker Robertson, Seth Bullard and Ben Wilhelm; Back row: Andrew Hough and David Sawyer. Right photo: (dulcimer 2) Autumn Andrews, Carson Leatherman, Tyler Anne Leatherman, Ava Larsen, Reagan McKinney, Olive Cogburn, Charlotte Floyd, and Sophie Bailey.
