Thank you for this clear instruction. It is very helpful!

I have wanted to learn how to play the dulcimer for a long time! Hoping to buy my first one soon. I took both piano lessons and guitar lessons as a teen, so I have some (rusty) music theory in my background. These videos by Jess are perfect to help me understand the music theory of the dulcimer. Each video is a good length; long enough to learn the skill, but short enough to not be overwhelming. Jess explains and shows each step clearly and patiently!

Very good lession Thanks for sharing 🎶😎

I bought a 12/11 at a yard and I am really enjoying your videos! Thanks for sharing them!

Thanks Jess. I have always considered you one of the best hammered dulcimer teachers.

Coming to my 15/14 hammered dulcimer as a beginner, but having played woodwinds and knowing how to read music, these videos are a perfect fit, and make much more sense than "number method" instruction. Thanks, Jess, these videos are excellent!

An encouraging and motivating approach. Each one is clearly explained with plans for practice.

Very good instruction manual is available

my 12/11 only has tuning pegs on right side (pins on left). so I assume I tune both treble and bass with the pegs on the right ?

excellent instruction videos. very organized and useful way to improve dulcimer playing.

I sure wish the music and downloads and books were still available!!!! Is so--HOW?

I'm having such fun learning how to play the hammer dulcimer! Mine is about 1-1/2 months old--a finch from Songbird 17/16/8. So glad I found you on you-tube. I wish you still had the downloads and book. That would be helpful. Nevertheless, it sounds beautiful and if the book and downloads ARE available please let me know! I don't know tech stuff! 86 and trying to learn the dulcimer is a challenge for sure! But I plan to make it happen.

I am a brand new hammered dulcimer player and I just love Jess Dickinsons calm voice and clear Explanations!

Nice dulcimer,

#7 is an excellent teaching video to learn chords & the basic hammered dulcimer layout.

Thank you! 😎👍🏻🎶🔨

These lessons have been very informative and helpful.

Very Helpful! thanks Jess!

These videos are extremely helpful to a newbie like myself! I am on number six and jlearnjng much faster than I thought I could. Jess is an excellent teacher! Thank you!

These are great! Great instruction, nice and slow, detailed.

This is excellent, i am learning so much!!!

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

Good teaching . Thankyou

Thank you for an explanation of Chords that I could understand

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!

You are a good teacher! Thanks for these!

The videos are exceptionally helpful and always available for a review.

This course is great. My book should be here soon. Thanks so much.

The last 8 minutes of this lesson was audio only. Anyone else having that problem??

wonderful lesson!

I just got your book. I’m so excited to get started! Thank you for these videos!

Thank you so much for these videos!

Appreciate you videos , Jess

Thank you Jess. Food for thought here and something to aspire to.

At 7:28 I am confused. What do you mean by one chord, 4 chord, and 5 chord? Aren't use using the same number of notes? It sounds lovely and I want to practice this, especially since I have a hard time with droning, or trying to get one hand to do something other than the melody. Not that coordinated yet.

Thank you so much!

Had to listen several times. Progression of major chords. Playing 1,3,5 in the chord but the progression is to the 1,4,5 chord. I'll figure it out .... or listen again. 😊

This video was very helpful. I have the instruction manual and have been fun and been practicing an hour a day with scales. I have progressed to page 15 and feel comfortable. I turned the page and am feeling lost and a bit helpless. I'm glad I listened to RUclips lesson 5 today. I'm not so discouraged and will try these exercises. Perhaps I should do both RUclips and the manual. Thanks for the help.

Thank you so much. You are making it all possible.

Delightful lessons. Well organized and progressing well. Significantly improved my playing!

I have just finished video 6. It was most informative and easy to follow. Thankyou so much. I have had my hammered dulcimer 2 weeks. These videos are so easy to follow.

I am a brand new student. These lessons are so helpful. Thankyou so much!

I love, love, love these videos. You make playing fun! So thankful I found these. By the way, I’m taking one of your lessons during Quarantune!!

I am getting serious about learning to play this year. I look forward to learning from you

I like the way he says “white” whhhhhhoooOite

I am on #6 right now. I am just loving this series of videos! I have a lot of music background but have been stumbling some trying to master this instrument. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful knowledge.

An absolutely great and amazing teacher. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos. They are very helpful I Thank God for letting me find you. I am learning so much from them. I don't know what I would do if you hadn't took the time to make these videos. I am very very very grateful and thankful for you. So Thank You Very Much Sir. I can't thank you enough I really appreciate you.

Lovely rendition of "Arkansas Traveler" - outstanding rhythm and phrasing.

This series is just what I needed. Ive owned a 16/15 made by a guy named Burge Searle for a while but am now wanting to get with it in earnest.
