Lessons
Due to the Covid situation I am doing my lessons on line.
Not as nice but the best option for these times.

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.
American Folk Guitar
I teach American Folk Guitar with an emphasis on traditional songs and branching out from there.

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.
