Laurie Alsobrook
Dulcimer Teacher
Workshop Leader
Jam Leader
After retiring from a 42-year teaching career, I jumped into the dulcimer world with both feet, as an instructor at dulcimer retreats and a workshop leader at festivals. Private lessons are also offered to individuals in the surrounding area.

Workshop Suggestions:
I am willing to come to your club! Here is a list of a few of my fun theme-based workshops. In addition to the fun collection of songs, the workshop participant will receive specific instruction on use of chord/melody playing, using a capo, and using a variety of techniques to smooth out playing. Content within each workshop offering may be modified for the level needed.
List of Possible Workshop and more to come!
