Jim is also a famed, in the dulcimer world at least, inventor of new folk instruments. While his inventions delight audiences, they may not always be the most practical.

After a few quick lessons on the basics of set up and tuning, Linda took over her dulcimer education and is self-taught. Dan DeLancey grew up around Old Time and Bluegrass in a musical family. He learned to play guitar from listening to his grandmother s records and developed an interest in flatpicking lead guitar upon his discovery of Dan Crary and Doc Watson. Dan has received numerous awards for his flatpicking. Both Linda and Dan are sought after performers having recorded a dozen albums, published numerous instructional books, and are well-recognized instructors. http://www.lindadan.com Carol Walker Carol Walker, a former high school choral teacher, and classically trained pianist, harpist, and vocalist, bought her first dulcimer in 1999.

Her early exposure to Old Time and Bluegrass fiddling has helped to kindle her interest in these musical styles in recent years. Heidi holds a Bachelor s in Music Performance/ Teaching Music from Transylvania University with a Master s in Training and Development from the University of Saint Francis. She is a member of the Heartland Dulcimer Club. Suzanne Dennis Children s Classes Suzanne Dennis discovered the dulcimer at a craft festival many years ago. It took her back to her childhood and reminded her of watching her mother play piano and wanting so badly to play music also. It was years later that she had the opportunity to learn the dulcimer which put her on the path to join the Heartland Dulcimer Club. Suzanne teaches elementary school and uses the dulcimer in her classroom. Children immediately love the dulcimer. It seems doable to them, and they can start playing immediately. 5
