Teacher, Workshop Leader, Performer, & Author

Mountain Dulcimer & Autoharp

Workshop Leader – Mary is an enthusiastic workshop leader, teaching beginning through advanced levels on either the mountain dulcimer or autoharp.  She always comes prepared with easy to read, instructive handouts that clearly illustrate the content of the class and allow for continuing practice after the class is completed.  Arrangements include both standard notation and tablature.  Venues where Mary has led workshops include:

Ø  Mountain Laurel Autoharp Gathering in New Port, Pennsylvania

Ø  Stringalong in Oconomowoc. Wisconsin

Ø  Fondy Acoustic Music Fest in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin

Ø  Dulcimer Day in Duluth in Duluth, Minnesota

  • Trina Louise Barr in the Summer, ’04 Autoharp Quarterly:  “The fun that the Ageless Harmony trio is having on this CD album is the only ingredient necessary for appreciative listening.  Mary and her parents, Juanita and Ray, are having a great time making music together.  Give Me the Roses is what memories are made of.”

  • Bruce Hahn in the FAMA (Fondy Acoustic Music Alliance) Newsletter:  “The music of Ageless Harmony is always great, but I’m impressed how relaxed and welcoming the trio was...”
