Come Jam with Us

Twice-Monthly Practice/Jam Sessions
First and Third Saturdays of every month from 1:00 to 4:00 pm

Beginner's lessons from NOON to 1:00 pm *

* And when we say beginner, we mean it! Even if you don’t own an instrument... Even if you can’t read music... The dulcimer is a very forgiving instrument and dulcimer tablature is so simple to read that we will have you playing a tune within minutes without reading a dot of music. We almost always have a few “spares” at our practices, and we are truly delighted to share with you what we know.

Our jam sessions have been moving around a lot lately. Get on our mailing list to get accurate updates and other breaking information. Summer is here in the Tri-Cities! We're outside some days and inside others, so watch your email for location announcements.

Performances

We like to get out into our community and share our love of music. Our members play often at local events, such as garden parties, senior living facilities, art galleries, wineries, churches, and civic events.

We have two different levels of performances. Those marked below as Three Rivers Dulcimer Society (3RDS) are the less formal category and are open for all players to join in. We also have a small ensemble group named the Fine Fretted Friends (FFF), which is open to anyone willing to learn a few additional tunes and attend extra practice sessions.

Playlists and any special instructions will be e-mailed to interested parties prior to the event.
