Once it's tuned you can hardly make a mistake. And though it's beautiful with "high piney" tunes from the Appalachian Mountains, it also lends itself to The Beatles & Leonard Cohen (to mention only a couple of possibilities). In 3 classes you learn 2 tunings, several tunes, how to follow dulcimer tablature and a few strums to help you out with your musical pursuits. From there on you can probably make your own way, though I do teach private lessons, too. 3 classes: 7/11, 7/18, 7/25 (sessions also offered in April/May and July on Mondays) $100, $90 for early registration Pre-registration required.
