This 32 page book and accompanying CD are perfect for the beginning student of the hammered dulcimer. It provides tips for playing tunes, notes, symbols, techniques and theory in a complete set of 10 lessons in the book and 10 tunes on the CD. While the book provides a tuning chart for 15/14 Hammered dulcimers, it is clearly adaptable to smaller and larger instruments. The CD offers a performance track with rhythm guitar and an instructional track with phrase-by-phrase demonstration.
The book and CD are both authored by Linda Thomas, a music educator for over 30 years!
