About
Bill
Love
at first sound
Bill
Bosler (1963) was a drummer since childhood.
Ten years ago someone pointed out the hammered
dulcimer to him. It was love at first sound.
'When I started playing I couldn't stop anymore.
I was intrigued. Don't ask me why. The instrument,
the sound, the music, it just feels right.'
He has been playing ever since and composed
several songs. He performs at folk festivals
and concerts throughout the year.
Weddings
Bill gets more and more requests
for wedding ceremonies. The hammered dulcimer
is an excellent instrument for romantic wedding
music. Bill has rich repitoire and has learned
a specific tune if requested.
Workshops and lessons
Curious about
the hammered dulcimer? Bill gives workshops
ranging from an introduction to the instrument
and its music, primarily geared to libraries
and groups looking for an informative and entertaining
evening as well as more in depth and specialized
topics that he teaches at music festivals. He
is also available for
private lessons, either single focused lessons
or regular recurring teaching. Just give him
a call at 574-298-8513.

Lakeside
Melodies
In
March of 2006, Bill and Carla bought an old
resort and renamed it Lakeside
Melodies Resort. They have renovated the
resort into a musically themed place. Every
cottage of the resort has a music theme: Folk
cottage, Blues cottage, Rock 'n Roll cottage,
and Jazz cottage. The Country cottage is still
under renovation.
