Welcome to the Louisville Dulcimer Society website
The Louisville Dulcimer Society is dedicated to sharing music and friendship and promoting traditional, American, mountain, and Celtic music.
Every year we sponsor the
Ohio Valley Gathering. Thanks to all who attended this years event. See you all in Indianapolis in March 2011.
You can watch a video of this great event (2010 slide show pending). You do not want to miss this.
Beginning Classes Coming in March!
Starting on Tuesday, March 16th [note date change], we will begin a series of mountain (lap) dulcimers lessons for the beginner or novice player. These classes are free for members, but you can join that evening if you wish. Each class will be conducted by a different instructor so that you can get familiar with the ways that different people play. The first instructor will be Maureen Sellers and we will use her instruction book which can be bought at the first class. Contact Todd Nielsen at 502-241-6079 to sign up for class or if you would like to volunteer to teach or be an assistant.
We're not ju
st for dulcimer players anymore.
The Louisville Dulcimer Society invites players of any instrument (and at any level) that you don't have to plug in to participate in our jams and events. We have mountain (lap) dulcimer, hammer dulcimer, pennywhistle, autoharp, mandolin, guitar, harmonica, and even washtub bass players.
