Mountain Dulcimer Instructor

I’ve been playing the mountain dulcimer for 30 years and have presented many workshops in the past 14 years. I started out playing by ear and was fortunate enough to have taken workshops with some incredible teachers who have helped me develop and expand my musical knowledge to include basic notation, composition, basic music theory and the joy of creating tablature to share with others.
