Welcome! This site is intended to help folks learn to play the mountain dulcimer. No experience is necessary. If you have little to no music experience but you want to quickly start playing your instrument, check out the “Ultimate Beginners” section. At this level, you will learn the basics and will play by number. The “Beyond the Basics” section is intended for those who have moved beyond Ultimate Beginners level, or for players who come to the dulcimer with some prior musical background.
This site is new as of July, 2019. New content is being developed, so check back frequently. Email dulcimerteacher@gmail.com if you’d like us to update you when we’ve made updates. Enjoy!
