Square One, No. 1 - Hammer
Dulcimer for Absolute Beginners, by Linda Foley and Sara
Johnson. The first book in a beginner's series of Square One dulcimer
books for beginning dulcimists. It begins with getting the dulcimer
out of the box and finding out which end is up. The book contains
easy-to-understand diagrams and exercises teaching beginners to
play and gain hammer control using patterns based on the position
markers on the treble bridge. Square One makes no assumptions
(and has no requirements) as to the type of bass tuning or chromatic
bridges on a particular dulcimer so it's equally useful with fifth
tuned bass or octave bass, 12/11, 15/14 or other configurations.
Absolute beginners have taken to this book with enthusiasm.
Square One No. 1 - $5.00
Square One No. 2 - Exercises
for Hammered Dulcimer (Playing Patterns), by Linda Foley
and Sara Johnson - The "Hanon for hammered dulcimer"
book. Exercises to develop understanding of patterns, improve
speed, accuracy and virtuosity, and to increase general familiarity
with the hammered dulcimer and improve ability to improvise and
learn new tunes.
