Live Life With the Mountain Dulcimer and a Song

  

Winston-Salem, NC is my home. My first introduction to the mountain dulcimer was at a school Heritage Day program. For over 20 years since then I have enjoyed sharing my love of the dulcimer and singing with children, adults, at festivals, schools, churches, and senior homes. In addition to teaching mountain dulcimer and piano, I am artistic director for Appalachian Strings Dulcimer Club in Winston-Salem. I also perform with  Triad Festival Singers, Cantábile-Jubilee dulcimer trio, and I helped to establish the Camel City Strummers dulcimer club.
