Individual lessons on the piano or the hammered dulcimer are taught in my Virginia Beach home.  Bells, glockenspiels, lyres, drums, Joia Tubes, Boomwhackers, and other world instruments contribute to joyful learning. A musical instrument lending library is popular with young students.

Lessons are usually thirty minutes long, once a week. A semester-long commitment  is required. 

New students are being accepted for Fall Semester 2011 . For more information, please contact me.

Hammerkidz By the Bay are children and teens who are learning to play the hammered dulcimer.  At our lively, monthly jam sessions we share favorite tunes, learn new techniques, and have fun experimenting with many musical instruments. If you're a young person in southeastern Virginia who loves the sound of the hammered dulcimer, please join us!  To learn more, contact me.
