Chevalier
Jane Chevalier bought
herself a small hammered
dulcimer in 1989 and took
lessons from a local
teacher. She quickly
advanced to a larger,
chromatic hammered dulcimer,
and in 1990 began attending
festivals workshops to learn
from other players and
teachers.
Jane's own career as a
hammered dulcimer teacher
began in 1992. She now
maintains a teaching studio
with approximately 25
students, teaching both
hammered dulcimer and
autoharp. She regularly
conducts hammered dulcimer
workshops at the Buckeye
Dulcimer Festival (Ashley,
Ohio), Southern Michigan
Dulcimer Festival (Parma,
Michigan), Funfest (Evart,
Michigan), and Folk Music
Gathering (Midland,
Michigan). Jane taught a
series of workshops for
Silver Strings Dulcimer
Society (Westland, Michigan)
and for Ann Arbor Public
Schools Cultural Arts
Program.
Old But Timely, Jane's first
recording, was released in
1993 and is a collection of
traditional tunes played on
hammered dulcimer and
accompanied by guitar, bass,
autoharp and penny whistle.
Her second recording,
Dulcimer Noel, was released
in 1995 and contains some of
her favorite Christmas
carols.
