Thank you so much for these free videos, Jess--what a gift! I woke up one morning about a year ago with a sudden desire to learn how to play the old hammered dulcimer a parishioner made for my father. It's such a beautiful instrument, but I was worried I'd have trouble finding teaching resources. These videos are so clear and I appreciate how you build us up through exercises over time. I also bought your book, which is another helpful resource. I appreciate all you do to keep this tradition alive and accessible. God bless you!
I want to thank you I got a dulcimer and all the teaching videos have been tough for a beginner with no music experience. Your teaching videos make so much sense and I have hope again that I can learn to play this lovely instrument. Thank you
I’m going to suggest these videos to my sister. She recently purchased one and I think is feeling a little overwhelmed. I told her it still seems easier than my violin!
Thank you thank you! Just purchases my first new to me dulcimer with no idea how I'd actually learn it. This video was so easy to follow! Thank you!!!!
This really helped me figure these boxes-I was having trouble finding all the scales and wondered how anyone found them. Thank you for helping us beginners become better beginners!
Great video's Jess!! I purchased our first dulcimer through Jess and have been learning to play through these helpful and instructive videos. I appreciate all the work you put into them, Jess. Thank you. Chris W.
Is this standard or Michigan tuning? I'm considering purchasing a dulcimer, and for now am playing along with a dulcimer app. Love the videos. They go a long way to simplifying what at first glance is a very confusing instrument. Thanks.
I'm a 57 yr old retired Marine who's considering purchasing a Dulcimer. Would you be so kind as to suggest what Dulcimer best suited for a beginner to learn? I think learning music will keep my mind sharp!

Thanks Pete. I knew after all these years and 50,000 views of my FREE videos, someone would finally notice and make a negative comment.
I just got my dulcimer and the teacher I was going to use is taking 3 months off - so I am really grateful for these lessons!!
Excellent, much easier to understand than my guitar.
Great Lesson!
