Spring Augusta Week
Advanced Mountain Dulcimer
Rob Brereton

Rob Brereton is considered one of the pioneers in contemporary mountain dulcimer playing. His years of studying classical guitar have polished his playing style while his degree in music theory and composition has given him a fresh approach to arranging.

Rob was one of the first dulcimer players to arrange extensively in chromatic and other alternate tunings. Although he specializes in the standards and early jazz tunes of Duke Ellington, George Gershwin, and the like, Rob is equally adept at playing the more traditional styles and dulcimer repertoire.

In his everyday life, Rob teaches preschool - sixth grade music and has many private students. He also composes and directs several choirs near his home in Sherman, CT. His award winning playing can be heard on his recording Someone To Watch Over Me. You can visit his website at www.robertbrereton.com.

Much to his friends’ dismay, he also yodels. Please don’t hold this against him.
