JULIA MCDERMOTT - Hammered Dulcimer
Julia McDermott’s music began with classical piano, then silver flute, but quickly shifted to the joys of playing folk music when she first heard the sounds of a Hammered Dulcimer. She began playing the Hammered Dulcimer in the Appalachian tradition, about 20 years ago. Later, Julia studied with Karen Ashbrook and Maggie Sansone, at workshops, learning to play the Hammered Dulcimer in the Irish and Celtic traditions, and quickly shifted her focus and repertoire. Julia is beginning to study Anglo-concertina, and with the help of Green Flag, has begun to sing.
