Kathleen F –
“This website and this music is such a blessing to me. Your instructions on the dulcimer are so clear I think I can actually do chords! Reading tabs is new to me. I grew up on the piano, but unfortunately due to mild cognitive impairment I’m losing the ability to read music. Tablature is still possible, and so is the dulcimer! Thank you so much for providing a way to enjoy music again!”

Julia says –
“I have always enjoyed listening to the old northern American stories played out on banjo giving us a glimpse of the past and the sound of clawhammer banjo has always been a favourite of mine. Later in years I decided to learn to play banjo. Having unsuccessfully found a teacher in the UK who played in this style that I could liken to, I came upon one of Mandy’s beginner lessons on YouTube and was drawn to her style of teaching and within a matter of weeks I was able, with her help, to play a tune of sorts (my husband doesn’t cover his ears anymore)! I joined Patreon a few months ago and recently progressed onto her new site. What a change! It is evident all the hard work and thought that has gone into this new site to help all of us who view it. It is very easy to use and so far I have found an answer to every query that I may have, relating to learning, how to change strings, type of banjos, reviews, tabs to use etc . Mandy is very knowledgeable on her subjects, honest and always has a cheery disposition. In my opinion unbelievable value for money and you will not be disappointed. Definitely an answer to prayer – thank you.“

Judy says –
“From a dulcimer point of view, well worth the $$. Mandy gives bite size super digestible chunks of music instruction at a very slow pace. Then the student can in turn practice and master the song/level at their own pace and speed. I believe she admitted to not reading music! YES! I love it. Everyone learns differently. And when tabs were shown to me after struggling for YEARS, a whole new musical world and musical enjoyment finally opened up. No musical snobbery here, just wholesome education, you can do attitude, and the joy of playing music!”

Thanks so much to my sponsors!! Their gear helps me do what I need to do and I greatly appreciate it.

In March of 2023, Wolf Hill Woodworking sent me their Performer’s Model MD stand to test out. I love it!! I definitely endorse their product! CLICK HER E to visit them and grab one for yourself!
