First Lessons
Hammered Dulcimer is designed to instruct beginning players
on the instrument. The melodies in this collection include a
variety of hymns, holiday music and fiddle tunes written in
standard notation, with instructions on how to read the
notation. Lyrics and suggested chords for accompanying
instruments are also included. The accompanying CD offers two
tracks for each selection: a performance track with rhythm
guitar and an instructional track with detailed phrase-by-phrase
demonstration. The guided audio instruction at a slow tempo will
prove invaluable for the "by ear" player. This method provides a
"private lesson" approach for success on the hammered dulcimer.
