Amoskeag Waltz: An Interview with Sandy Lafleur

Todays guest is from from Wilton, New Hampshire and has been playing and sharing her love of the Appalachian dulcimer for over 25 years. Over the years she has led many workshops at festivals in New England and New York. Today’s guest is also a contra dancer, caller, and dance organizer but her greatest joy comes from bringing people together around music. For her dulcimer students, whom she is now teaching on Zoom, her goal is to help each player find their own unique musical voice. Some of the repertoire worshops that she has led throughout New England include, Shape Note hymns, Breton, Welch, and Manx tunes, tunes from the fife and drum corps tradition, jigs, waltzes, and hornpipes. She also has lead technique workshops. One festival organizer called her "...a delightful and insightful teacher who delivers the goods with clarity and humor." It is my honor to introduce today’s guest, Sandy Lafleur.
