My First Hammered Dulcimer Lesson #1: Scales│Songbird Dulcimers

Today we are learning about scales. Scales help us learn where the notes are on the hammered dulcimer. And the better we learn, the more and more beautiful music we can make!

Scales either go up and down as the notes are played. After you've practiced playing scales with notes going higher, then try to play scales starting from the highest note and going lower! You can do it!

Now take your note strips away. Can you still play the scales?

Thanks for watching our first lesson! This is part of our video tutorial series for the book "My Hammered Dulcimer". This book comes along with the purchase of our Fledgling Hammered Dulcimer.
