Dulcimer Method is a practical and approachable learning guide created for anyone beginning their journey on the mountain or Appalachian dulcimer, while remaining valuable for intermediate players seeking to refine technique and expand repertoire. It is well suited for self study, private lessons, classroom instruction, and relaxed home practice.

The material progresses naturally, helping learners move confidently from basic skills to more developed playing.

Included with the book is access to online audio featuring 54 demonstration and play along tracks.
