Nyckelharpa 4-a-Day – C tuned

This is for the complete beginner, just starting out. The idea is that you work through each day one at a time, you don't have to go back to day 1 after day 2 - just keep moving forwards.

The name was inspired by the eating your five fruit and veg a day. But in this case we have four bars on each line, four lines on each page. This version is for people with a nyckelharpa tuned ACGC (known as C tuned).

There are six weeks to this course. At the moment there is a mix of audio lessons and video lessons. Videos are being made for the audio lessons. To gain access to the course you can either be a monthly subscriber or pay a one time access fee. (That will get you this course, but not the others)

NH4aD Week 3

Week Three is ready to go. All feedback is greatly welcomed as it can be used for future exercises. Still time to get your feedback in for Weeks One and Two. They can go towards anything that needs re-writing or carried over to Week Four! Only new notes this week, gradually extending higher. No new rhythms, just consolidation of what has been played in the previous two weeks. Note: there are D tuned nyckelharpa versions for each day.
