Spring Dulcimer Week
Advanced Beginning Mountain Dulcimer
Jeff Sebens


Jeff Sebens brings a varied educational background to his dulcimer teaching. From an early training in classical music to experience teaching history and industrial arts, he has melded these experiences into a love and appreciation for both the lap and hammered dulcimers. Currently, he owns and operates Meadows Music, where he handcrafts a variety of musical instruments, as well as keeping an active schedule with festivals, workshops, and Elderhostels.

"My first hammered dulcimer was built from a set of plans that I got from the Smithsonian museum and my designs have grown significantly since that time. Countless hours with musicians and builders at fiddlers conventions, jam sessions, and backporch chats have helped me refine both my building and playing."
