The following comments are from people whom I asked it they would be willing to contribute a few words for my website. I have not edited them.
"Many years ago I acquired a dulcimer, played with it a bit, and then set it aside to raise a family and develop a career. When I retired at the age of 70, my dulcimer needed a repairman and I needed a teacher. Jeremy Seeger took care of both problems. He not only provides gentle guidance and encouragement as I learn to play, but he also adjusted the dulcimer to fit my voice. He has offered interesting methods for overcoming nervousness and for memorizing difficult songs. When I mentioned an interest in learning a French folk song, he found one that’s truly delightful. He is a fascinating individual who has shared stories that open new doors and add depth to the experience of making music." CB
"When I decided I would like to play the mountain dulcimer, I wondered if there were a teacher out there who was willing to work with a non-musician, one who was sure she had absolutely no musical talent. Then I met Jeremy Seeger. With his limitless patience and encouragement, Jeremy has somehow managed to teach me to reach into myself and do something I doubted I could. Now, thanks to Jeremy, not only am I playing the dulcimer, I have discovered that, for me, “making music” is fun and that has opened up a whole new world.
It took an understanding teacher like Jeremy to help me uncover this undiscovered facet and that has enriched my life." DL
