Faerie Memories: Fantasy Music
with an Acoustic Heart
A collection of mystical, healing music woven with standard and baritone mountain dulcimer, angel wing harp, keyboard, and voice...
Welcome, fellow travelers, to my musical realm! Feel free to explore...
You will find that each of my songs is deeply tied to a story. With my singing and playing, I seek to create mystical and mythical journeys guided by an acoustic heart, which is the mountain dulcimer… This music is meant to nurture hope and affirm the goodness and beauty of life. My style incorporates a Romantic blend of medieval, Celtic, folk, and world music along with newer influences.
In live performance, my dulcimers are heralds of quiet joy, healing, and life well lived. They are especially suited to small, intimate gatherings and events, but they may also be effectively accommodated in larger venues.
I would be happy to musically accompany a special occasion in your life, to share the essence of the music that I love with others in a performance setting, or to teach about the mountain dulcimer and how it can be a source of personal enrichment.
The above pages will explain and demonstrate my approach to each of these outreaches and provide you with further information so we can explore how my music and instruction may fit into your vision.

Current and Upcoming Events:
ONLINE WORKSHOP
A Season with Jane Austen
1-2:30 p.m. CDT in Zoom
NEW MOUNTAIN DULCIMER WORKSHOP (September 15, 2024): In the Regency period, the colder months brought in preparations for “the season,” the time when major balls and social events were held and when young women would make their debut into adult society. Autumn into winter would be a time for dress fittings, travel plans, and great general anticipation! My next workshop will share selections of music connected with Jane Austen novels or their film adaptations: the Irish melody “Robin Adair” (from the novel “Emma”) and the John Playford dances “Grimstock” (from the 1995 miniseries “Pride and Prejudice”) and “Childgrove” (from the 2007 film “Northanger Abbey”). Please bring a capo! Arrangements will be suitable for players at the intermediate level. Registration will be $15 per participant. I will send you a Zoom meeting link and a PayPal link (or Square invoice upon request) once you RSVP by messaging me on Facebook or emailing me at the address on my website: www.JessicaComeauDulcimer.comemailing me at [email protected].
