Lorinda Jones is a nationally recognized folk music performer, recording artist, and music therapist, residing in Rineyville, Kentucky.

• Mouth bow
• Folk harp
• Lyre harp
• Hammered dulcimer
• Mountain dulcimer
• Fiddle
• Guitar

After viewing the video, students remarked how they enjoyed hearing the variety of instruments, how the conversation dialogue kept their attention for 30 minutes, and how much they learned about the roots of American music, including, mountain and Bluegrass music.
The Teacher’s Edition CD-Rom is a valuable tool for the teacher as a comprehensive lesson plan as it includes:
• Vocabulary list
