Dulcimer Lessons with Gentian



Gentian Gives Beginner Dulcimer Lessons

There aren't many dulcimer teachers up here in Marquette, MI. I learned from the best, but my teacher says I could teach new people to play. If you want to learn, I can get you started. It will be easy for you and fun for both of us!

Here is what you will need:

  • A dulcimer (I' can help you choose)
  • A willingness to learn
  • A love of good music

Already know how to read music? Great!
But if you don't know, I can help you get started on the dulcimer.

Here are a few things you will learn:

  • Fun, easy, pretty melodies
  • Basic dulcimer rythyms and notes
  • How to read dulcimer tabliture (music written especially for dulcimers)
  • Different tunings and modes
  • Hammer-ons and pull-offs
  • Some beautiful chords

Reasons to take lessons from me:

  • For beginners, I can teach you LOTS
  • I know how to speak the language of beginners
  • You will learn the way I learned - It works!
  • My lessons will get you ready for intermediate instructors
  • It is a fun way for me to earn a few dollars
  • Since I'm homeschooled, my daytime winter schedule is very flexible
  • I tend to like dulcimer players and they like me!
