|
A collection of 22 songs
arranged in a fingerpicking style for the mountain dulcimer,
this book offers a wide variety of musical genres and
playing levels. Divided equally between arrangements for
three and four equidistant strings, the songs progress in
difficulty within each section from beginner to advanced
level. Each piece is written in both standard music notation
and dulcimer tablature, and is accompanied by performance
tips for playing that song. Many arrangements utilize the 6
1/2 fret, and tunings range from standard modal tunings to
four-string variations. The arrangements cover a wide range
of song styles including traditional ragtime, blues, and
classical standards. There is an extensive introduction on
playing techniques for both left and right hands, tunings,
reading tablature, and dulcimer embellishments. The
accompanying CD is an instrumental recording of solo
dulcimer, designed to give the student a note-for-note
reference to each written arrangement while providing a
performance-quality listening experience. |
