The Hills of Kentucky Dulcimers club provides FREE beginner and intermediate level instruction for all paid members.  Each series of classes consist of six, one-hour lessons that prepare each student to confidently play in group sessions and public performances.  Upon completion of the beginning series, students will be given a copy of the club music packets that includes many traditional dulcimer tunes.

Beginner Level

No experience necessary.  This is an introductory level class focusing on those who have little or no knowledge of the mountain dulcimer.  Experience with other instruments or knowledge of music is not required.

Intermediate Level

The focus at this level is to practice basic dulcimer playing techniques, fine tuning those skills and building one's repertoire.  Various tunes from the club music packets and new tunes are used so that students may confidently join in group sessions and perform at public events.
