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 Workshops and more to come!

And finally…”The Dulcimer Petting Zoo”
