Join in the Fun!
Dulcimer Crossing – a platform this new mountain dulcimer and hammered dulcimer (yes, both at the same time – ah, retirement!) to suit my learning. It rounds out my local and regional opportunities for in-person learning and jamming. The member community provides a wide-variety of support and courses along the way – just when and where I’m ready for it. I’ve designed and implemented websites for several small community organizations. I’ve been involved in adult education in the corporate tech world as well as in the community. I know what kind of effort this takes. I say to the Dulcimer Crossing team – Job Well Done !!!! To everyone else – Join in the Fun !!!

Helped Me Understand My Instrument
I'm a national champion, have been playing the dulcimer for 18 years, and I never want to stop learning the dulcimer. Steve's teaching helped me understand my instrument better and his clear, planned explanations helped me comprehend quickly. Some teachers only teach tunes and fail to teach the instrument. Steve does both effectively. I highly recommend Dulcimer Crossing.

"Warm and supportive community..."
DulcimerCrossing has been a wonderful part of my journey learning the mountain dulcimer. The platform Steve and the other teachers have created offers excellent lessons that make learning easy and fun. I've learned so much and grown as a musician by using it. What I value most is the sense of being part of a warm and supportive community of fellow learners—it truly makes me feel like I belong. Each session brings me joy and a deeper love for the instrument. I highly recommend DulcimerCrossing to anyone eager to learn the dulcimer in a friendly environment.

1st Video is Worth...
...the first month's payment. I just signed up for Dulcimer Crossing yesterday afternoon. Just wanted to let you know that your lesson on Celtic Music – Reels – Video 1 was worth the entire month’s payment! I had been finding my I, IV, V chords by jumping all over the dulcimer ,finding the box for each chord – i.e. using the D box for D, the G box for G and the A box for A. What a revelation to discover that by using your shape diagrams, I can easily find all three chords in the same area on the dulcimer! Thank you so much!

Improves My Playing
I have improved my playing since I joined Dulcimer Crossing.  I have also added your information to the INFO Board  at the Music Studio where I bought my dulcimers. Thanks for your help. I appreciate it since there are no groups around here to play with and no teachers.

It all started with a dream…

In 2007, my husband and I were living in St. Thomas, preparing to move back to the states.
We planned to settle in Franklin, TN, 30 miles south of Nashville, and open a dulcimer store at “The Factory,” a historic building that was once a stove factory but...
