Most of us who play dulcimer at used to playing just the melody, with few variations beyond the odd hammer on, pull off or filler note. When your local club meets, why not play different parts that fit together, like a four part hymn in church? Judy and Kirk House have arranged some familiar and not so familiar songs into tight, great sounding parts that sound great when played together. My local ensemble has adopted this book as our first book of arrangements to learn.
