Lessons
My approach to both dulcimer and guitar is traditional, meaning by ear with the minimum of reading tableture. To get you off the page and working from memory. I start with simple styles so you can develop a repertoire and enjoy making music. Then you can develop more sophisticated styles of playing and have your repertoire to enjoy playing as you learn new ways of playing. I take the music from our shared cultural heritage.

Dulcimer lessons
I give dulcimer lessons in the traditional style, playing the melody on the string (or double strings) closest to you and using the other two strings as drone strings.
