This is a course for the complete beginner. It has all of Vicki's tunes designed for people that have never played before. A carefully created and graded step by step course. Catchy tunes created with learning in mind! I've set quite a few of the early things as open access to help as many people as possible.
The Basics
Some of the first things you need to get your head around before you start playing! This includes how to hold the nyckelharpa - which is really important!
