Grade 4 Dulcimers

I've created this page so that when you get your dulcimers from school you will have instruction available. Fortunately we played enough beginning melodies, I think you should be able to explore the yellow book pretty well, I'll try to give you some examples of playing tunes and playing chords. But tuning is the first challenge you'll have to face.
