It was excellent! I learned what I had hoped to learn: some new arranging ideas, and a few new songs that I like very much.

Excellent. Inspiring. Opportunities for questions and related discussion. Instructor made class members feel at ease and open to asking questions without feeling as though should already know the information, etc. Would recommend this instructor for anyone wanting to explore or advance their skills re: hammered dulcimer.

Fantastic. Anne is just about the nicest person imaginable and such an amazing teacher. It was really interesting to hear about the history of the dulcimer and the local area too. She really brought it to life. The lessons were pitched exactly right and I felt like she really cared about everyone and was so encouraging. I felt like the class was an oasis in this awful time and it really was just totally wonderful. I was genuinely really sad when the five days came to an end.
