Teach Yourself the Psaltery for Chanukah

Use of this booklet can benefit the beginner, intermediate or advanced Psaltery player. Musicians will learn the history of the Psaltery and everything necessary about purchasing a quality instrument and accessories to get started creating beautiful Chanukah music. Simple scores written for the Psaltery have note letters written under each symbol so that the inexperienced can play the ten Chanukah songs included in this manual. Also in this manual, music theory in a very simple form is highlighted for those interested in learning to read and understand music terms. All parts of the Psaltery are explained in this unique and original book. One can play the Psaltery without knowing how to read music if willing to practice. It can't get easier to create perfect tones with your new Psaltery. Bowing techniques are defined as an added bonus of this instructional manual. Chord charts are supplied for those who wish to play chords, however it is not necessary to play chords on the Psaltery. Chords can be played with a second bow. This technique is demonstrated in the manual. As a solo instrument, the Psaltery has a heart warming sound when played without the chords. Ten Hebrew songs are available in the music book, perfect for Chanukah celebrations. Included are: THE CHANUKAH SONG, BASKU BARISHONAH, HANICHU LA YLADIM, SIMCHU, RAM ADONAI, RUMAH ADONAI, TEN BI ME ORCHA, I HAVE A LITTLE DREIDEL, RONU SHAMAYIM and HATIKVA. We now offer an instrumental Hip Hop CD of all songs scores provided inside. The CD can be purchased from any dealer offering this book and is sold separate. To accompany a Psaltery player, other band members may purchase Chanukah Musical Scores For The Entire Band containing all ten songs highlighted inside, also by Yahshuah Ben Yahweh Music LLC.
