More Beautiful Melodies - Book/CD
This workbook/CD set was written for the intermediate-advanced player who aspires to create musical arrangements by playing melodies in different positions on the fretboard and by creating song medleys. This book is more than a collection of songs - it provides detailed written and audio instruction on how to play advanced arpeggios on the mountain dulcimer. The workbook /CD consists of 26 song arrangements, 8 arpeggio exercises, and 42 audio tracks which build the necessary skills to play beautiful slow and melodic music on the dulcimer. All of the songs and exercises are referenced to the accompanying CD, which allows the listener to play along with the CD while learning to bring forth beautiful melodies from the mountain dulcimer.
“More Beautiful Melodies” expands upon the work begun in “Beautiful Melodies”, and presents the dulcimer player with more challenging arpeggio exercises and song arrangements. The workbook/CD provides stand-alone instruction and does not need to be purchased with “Beautiful Melodies”. For example, left and right hand positions are covered in both workbooks. Get ready for another adventure!
