Beginners

For me the start is the most important place so this is what I really try to focus on. Helping people begin to play the nyckelharpa. So this page will show you the pathway through the site to becoming a nyckelharpa player. My most important advice is to practise every day - little and often.

This site is made up of different courses, modules and lessons. The beginner should start with these things:

Some of the website is available for anyone to use, but most of it is behind a paywall. There are two ways to get access to the full site:

The first is by monthly subscription. For this subscription you get access to all the materials and support. If you get stuck anywhere I'll make new lessons and videos and help you get past the tricky little corners.

The second is to book yourself some lessons - at the moment all my teaching is done online either using Skype or Zoom. I am based in the UK - but am willing to arrange for lessons until late into my evening so I can teach people pretty much anywhere in the world.
