As a hammered dulcimer player, I am a solo performer, part of a performing duo with my husband, and a Certified Music Practitioner.
           
            • As a solo performer, I play at weddings, celebrations, receptions, and the like, offering a wide variety of musical entertainment that ranges from ragtime to classical to Celtic. 

            • As part of a duo with my husband, I play in places like coffeehouses, restaurants, churches, festivals, and fundraisers. We play an eclectic blend of acoustic music ranging from Eric's original music to Celtic, to country, and beyond.

            • As a Certified Music Practitioner, I play at bedside in hospitals, residential facilities, and private homes as well as in memorial services. The relaxing music that I provide in such venues offers healing, solace, pain relief, and stress relief to patients and their families.

Each of these roles — solo performer, part of a duo, and music practitioner — is an important part of my life as a musician.

“Your playing was the absolute perfect touch for the reception.
I could not have been more pleased.”

“Your visit was the highlight of her brief stay with us.
She was truly transported out of her pain by the music.”

"I really like the way the two of you have combined styles that would seem uncombinable (is that a word?)"
