Featured course: Chord Theory 2021

Your guides

Mary Lynn Michal (van Deventer) is a hammered dulcimer player and teacher who lives about four hours away from Sandbridge VA. When not playing hammered dulcimer, she pretends to play fiddle, which keeps her humble and makes her a very sympathetic (and better) teacher. www.marylynnsmusic.com

Laurie McCarriar is a book designer, musician, and photographer in Northern Virginia. She plays hammered dulcimer, designs books for clients and friends, takes the random photograph, and spends a lot of time unlocking tech mysteries for folks who hate spending time wrestling with apps, iPads, and online services.
